Is Eagle really the first step?
I have almost finished my training at CTC and I've heard its pretty easy to get into Eagle from CTC. Im pretty sure I'm earmarked for direct entry soon as a few of my mates have been through with 300 hours and ive almost got 400, they say it is a breeze. Im thinking about Mt Cook because I like the fact you dont have to stand outside in the rain.
Any ideas???

Most people consider career progression, company standards/reputation, T&C's, lifestyle, aircraft, route network etc.

This is either a wind-up, or this guy needs to wake-up. Feel sorry for the Captains this guy has to share a small cockpit with.....

Hmmm kinda explains why my phone hasn't rung from Eagle recruiting for an interview..
I guess they don't want anyone with 1500 hours TT and 200 PIC Multi Turbine.
I suppose guys with less time can be paid less too..

acectc.....with your miniscule experience I have just the job for you - sweeping my hangar floor and cleaning the dog **** off my boots.
Mate, with your attitude I think you'll be waiting a long time for the phone to ring.
GET REAL MAN!

Don't worry acectc, they give you a good coat. You will definately get an interview with those hours and CTC training. I know people in Eagle and your mates that have gone ahead of you are nailing. They are making the guys that have been there 18months look bad and those guys had SPIFR time before joining. Not sure why, just better training I guess and their minds aren't cluttered up with all that guff they picked up in GA.
When you get there keep an eye on the captains though, most of them haven't had as much CRM training etc as you so they sometimes lose situational awareness when doing complicated approaches etc. When that happens just say "I have control" and fix it up. It's best for everyone.
Cheers.

thanks guys - yea I think I WILL BE OK THE TRAINING IS REALLY intense and I think I have been set up well for eagle. I heard one of the guys had to correct an eagle captain for excessive bank angle not long ago, must have been scarey.

I heard the cocky little maggot with his 300hrs corrected the Eagle Training Captain for 'bank angle' on a visual approach into AA when the plane hit 25 degrees, while the said maggot was seated in 1F on a famil flight!

Acectc - I'm kind of smelling a windup but with your undoubted skills I wouldn't settle at anything less than NASA (I did the ground course but turned them down - wasn't interested in the overnights and I thought a Vref of 400 knots was a bit of a yawn to be honest).
