How does vacation bidding work? According to the contract, you get just over a day vacation if you have not worked a full year at Eagle, for every month you have been here. That means I should get almost a week for next year. I see the Vacation bid packet out and the days available. How do I bid for those days? What if I want half of one block and half of another? Thanks for any help in advance.

I just added 14 hours of SE, I had the 51 ME when I applied.

Applied on 8/26, updated 3 days ago.
Only 51 ME/835 total.
Who knows what this e-mail means, they may just say go get some more multi time for example after reviewing my application.

Well just to inform applicants, I got a review email with 800/50 exactly. Got the pre offer. A buddy of mine at 700/50 somewhere around there and he got the pre offer last week. Another guy I know just got his inteview scheduled and he has 650/50. We all had no more then 55 hours of multi. So it is looking good for you. Like they say get your paperwork straight and don't try and hide anything. Good luck to ya.

how soon after the interview will Eagle send you to the ATP transition course if you're required to complete it? thanks.

So the very next day after the interview, I got a call from ATP to be put in a class three weeks away. Got the material less then a week so plenty of time to prep for class

I interviewed Monday the 17th, got the pre offer, had my employers fax in the documents by that wed, and still haven't heard a peep. Should I be concerned? Anybody else interview around that time frame?

If you dont have any major skeletons in your closet im sure you will be fine.

Thanks for all your answers, G5inmind. You've been a great source thus far. As far as the ATP course, how long is that? Is it at any ATP "campus"? Do they arrange transportation to the course and lodging?

Thanks again.

If so, do they propose one interview date or several dates possible? And within what timeframe (2, 3 weeks?)?

They review your app and if they like it, they will send you an email with a phone number you can call to schedule an interview. At this time they also print out your application, so any subsequent changes you make in AirlineApps won't be reflected in your file.

You will get a choice of Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday, within three weeks.
