American Eagle, Part Two

And hot off the presses is an update from my friends at FLTops.com that the numbers I quoted in the piece below about qualifying for a pilot job at American Eagle are now incorrect.

Interestingly, they were correct when I printed them, but that was on Monday and well, things change.

The original story below showed 800 total time and 100 multi-engine to apply at American Eagle. Today, FLTops.com is reporting that total time figure has dropped again to 500 hours.

You flight instructors had better begin polishing up those resumes and your interviewing skills once you reach that magic 100 hour multi time figure.

Of course, if everyone starts flying for the regionals, who will be left to teach new students how to fly and eventually fill in the holes in the system?
