Mar 24th 2008 American Eagle Interview Scheduled!!
Well today my current job drove me to interview earlier than I had expected with American Eagle. I showed up with a full schedule, 5 lessons. From 9am until 7pm. I noticed the aircraft I was scheduled in was not on the ramp. So I check the hangar and what do I see? The plane I am supposed to take is in pieces. While I was a little upset, this wasnt the main problem. If the aircraft is broken then I obviously do not want to fly it. My problem is the fact that it was not written down on the white board as to what was actually wrong with it, and no one had put Maintenance on the schedule. If they had put maintenance on the schedule then I would not have shown up at 9am for no reason. This is certainly not the first time I have had these types of problems either. The school said that I could fly the aircraft with the broken microphone (reference an earlier post about it), I just would have to grab a push to talk switch from another plane. Well I did that, and it half way worked. I still couldnt hear myself speak over the radio, and my student still had no radio. Well Im not playing this “half way working planes” game anymore.
So I shuffled the schedule around and hopefully the aircraft I was supposed to be in is back up by 1300 this afternoon. But they drove me to take up American Eagles interview offer. I called the hiring department and I now have an interview scheduled for the 9th of April! I guess its time to start studying, and time to come to the realization that in a few months Boston or New York may be the main place that I live.
