Eagle is very short on new hire pilots. Robert is right, the interview is yours to lose. Eagle wants to hire qualified pilots and lowered its requirements to 350 total time and 50 multi-engine. Expect it to go lower later this year. The sale of Eagle will not affect its hiring since more pilots are leaving than they can hire. If you want to pick up a few thousand hours of turbojet or turboprop time, apply to American Eagle Airlines. A very good brief on the process. Eagle is very short on new hire pilots.

I've been with Eagle for 18 years. Eagle is desperate for pilots which was true back when I got hired too. Your biggest qualification is to have a heartbeat AND that you're breathing. That doesn't mean you don't have to perform in the sim, but it does mean, just like you said, that you are hired until you prove otherwise to them. Your only competition for the job is yourself. Our sim instructors are really good and professional. Our training center is NOT about busting balls. When you meet the instructor for the sim ride, relax, make a friend, bring a great teachable attitude and fly. The sim is more about situational awareness and attitude than anything else. It's not really about technical knowledge because you've never been trained in that plane, but rather overall airmanship that applies to any airplane. Have fun, get the job done and you'll be in class soon. Hey Robert, I saw your blog. I’ve been with Eagle for 18 years. Eagle is desperate for pilots which was true back when I got hired too.
