Well, I won't be specific, but it was a driving infraction that resulted in arrest but no conviction. HOWEVER...
I did find it useful to use the "Compare App" tool at the end of your AirlineApps session. It lists AE's current requirements vs. what you have on your individual application. At the end it says this:
Additional Hiring CommentsAmerican Eagle’s minimum qualifications are as follows:
I highlighted IFR Currency because they may be looking for that magic "6" number there. I currently have a "4" there for approaches, BUT, I had a recent Instrument Proficiency Check. So I think AirlineApps thinks I am not current. I am going to jump in the sim at work tomorrow and knock out a few approaches and update tomorrow evening.

Everyone with an app in just be patient. With the lowering of the mins I'm sure they are innundated with applications and just need some time to sift through them all. Update your app once a week or every other week and it will get noticed. I know it's hard to stay patient but it's better than pulling your hair out from anxiety.

Yeah, of all days I finally got the "2-Day" email (Sunday). Hopefully the review goes well! For others waiting on that 2 Day email, it was almost a week from hitting the 100 hour ME time to getting it (it was before they lowered it to 50). So patients! I thought it was almost automatic because once I updated with 100 hours ME, I got all these emails for interviews within 24 hours. Hang in there!

Quick question for those who have either attended class already or are privy to the class details ... what's been the average age for newhires? If one is 22 years old, does that essentially mean you should expect to get SJU due to how bases are picked?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

There's no way in hell I'll do that. The ATR no problem, but not living internationally.

Attitude, SJS
Second, your attitude is not wanted at Eagle so stay the hell away.
Last you would be surprised to know that San Juan is an easier commute from the east coast and the flying is amazing and you can normally transfer away from San Juan with in a few months.

Someone hasn't interview yet & people don't like this guy's attitude already......
I'd go to North or south pole, if that's the base avail, if I get to fly for Eagle. I think this is the struggle period & one should go with open mind & learning attitude.
Anyways, Talking abt SJU, Can U pls shed more light abt SJU, like does one have to move there or how easy will it be commutable from MCO & one can just get a crashpad. I know islands are ususally expensive, is SJU expensive to live........
