Yes, I understand. I'll leave it at that.

my interviewee friend was going in as a sim instructor and said that the training dept cannot cope with the impending ft crisis without hard numbers. ie they do not know when the ft's start either. not sure about the class numbers though.

Ok, so I was reading at the my pilot career website about A.E., and there was a comment about how the first thing they did at a recent interview session was ask, "Anybody in here fail a checkride? Ok, get out!" Is this true? Is that how they initially weed people out?

Definately not true. I had a bust in my past and got hired at Eagle, although I didn't take it. I had a very positive interview experience at Eagle.

Great, thanks for the information. I'm on my way to DFW for an interview.

HR does some weird stuff sometimes. I recommended my college roommate of 3 years about 6 years ago. He breezed through the interview, but was rejected by the "Captain's Board." He went on to bigger and better things, but this was an honest, smart pilot and a great guy. If you get rejected by Eagle, don't take it personally, sometimes it just doesn't work out the way it should have.

Eagle is adding instructors immediately, and apparently plans for a few more as replacements when/if the FTs who are instructors go to AA. Rumor from a trusted source who should know is that hiring will increase about 50% from 30/mo soon.

Hello,

I’m a current applicant looking for information from any AE guys reading. How long would it take to get based in LAX after being hired? I would happily take any equipment to get back to the west coast.

Thanks in advance.
Sam
