I received an email from Eagle, funny I haven't had an application on airlineapps for 3 years. I guess things are really heating up over at Eagle.
800/100 or near these mins.
700 pilots in 2007
Where are they going find that many pilots? There aren't many Americans in flight schools these days.
Not knowing where you'd be based or what equipment was a huge turn off for me. I heard they are addressing this issue somewhat.

I wouldn't count on it. Even though they need folks badly they are sticking to their guns in the interview. Many who interview still don't make it. Study the Gleim ATP book, there's no excuse for busting the written. Good luck.

It looks like the steps they are taking to correct their problem is going to take time. They say it's going to bring down the upgrades but we won't know any time soon. As far as base prefference, I think it's a lost cause, 1999 most junior captain is just brutal for a regional airline. I'd give it a few more months untill they drop to commercial and multi.

Just had one of my students go threw training in DFW and he said that one of the last classes Eagle had was pretty empty and very few people showed up. The pressure is on for them and it will be interesting to see what else Eagle comes up with to sweeten the pot for newhires.

This is why they can't get pilots. None of the other regionals do this type of invasive interview. It is kind of intimidating for a lot of people, especially when there are other places that are better.
