Yeah, I got the congrats call too.
I would not say that it is easy tho. The group session was fairly relaxed after you get over the initial nervousness and I walked away quite enjoying it. The panel are more relaxed on day 1 I think.
Sim, have a practice a couple of times if you need to and know your holds and apps. Sim instructor is good and quite light hearted.
Panel, they try to make you relax but in reality they are still the interview panel, and you should still be a bit nervous- after all they control the final decision and you can't change that.

CC, nope, Always Inverted has been logging time in the Tri-Motor column!
Probably got passed by Aztecs everyday though!!
mattyj is right, those are the min hours, but you'd be lucky to get a call, as they are the minimums, for insurance reasons I understand. A few hundred more multi and total time should see the Eagle Motors wannabe right.
Congrats AI, and to others.
Still waiting for Thump, check your pms.

Lucky man! I'm green with envy whenever a mini DC10 takes off in front of me at AKL - they're just cool.
Back to the minimum hours, as i've said before - there are two different groups: 1000 hours with decent multi, or 100 multi with decent (1500+) total time. The multi time (particularly IFR) is more usefull when it comes to training, but they won't go below 1000 hours total (yet) as it creates too many downsteam problems with command upgrades (due ATPL and company requirements).
Eagle have just changed their initial line training program to allow for the less experienced new hires that are coming through.
As far as pay goes, it looks like new co's with ATPL theory will start on $37,000 plus allowances (or $35 without ATPLs).

We only have 35 applicants on the books who meat our requirements (WT)
Of course no company will ever have problems meeting their requirements for new applicants if they are prepaired to shift the goal posts.

B1900DDDDDDD
Any machine that needs so much ****e hanging off it to harness the law's of aerodynamics,does not instill much faith with me.
And wait for the freezing rain to enter and Ice up your elevator and rudder control rods?
I seem to remember that two machines where lost in the early days, lossing directional control, on one engine. and it had a tail stall problam as well, a few years ago BEECH where practicaly giving the things away to anyone that expressed interest in the said machine.
Unless I am wrong lets see if we can get some North American content on my comments, Canada especially.
