Anyone feel free to give any relevant info in regards to eagle interviews. Cheers Scud I looked at your info you had on the previous post. what about other relevant stuff, such as employee numbers, management names, company history, etc. It may seem ilrelevant to some but I would like to be prepared. Also what are some good questions that I could ask at the interview?

They seem to be asking a lot of questions on the 1900, type of engines, fuel burn, Avionics gear.
What is an EADI?
What is an EHSI?
What is TCAS?
They have been know to produce an approach plate and ask questions on it, which way would you circle for XX runway, when would you require an alternate etc etc. If you study the planning manual IFR procedures, get some information off the web about a 1900, find out a little about the company you should be in fairly good shape.
They seem to be fairly up and down with their requirments at the moment so cant help you there.
Maori Mobster,
Perhaps you should send some Koha with your next update, maybe a sack of kumara will persuade uncle bully to invite you along for a koreru so you can tell him how much you want to fly one of his flash sky waka's. Too much bro!

Always Inverted,
Eagle are currently setting their limits at 1500 TT, 250 - 500 multi, 50 night. Although they are interviewing some with less TT.
You may want to send a CV to Sunair or Air Napier, chances are they will be looking for someone with your experience in the next few months. No guarantees tho.
Good Luck

leathalweapon,
I do enjoy the flying that I do, but I need more and don't want to instruct.
I am flying single pilot IFR in the only Aerostar 600 in the country for a man who owns a physics engineering company, the flying tho is not consistant.
The good thing about it is the garmin 430- fully tso'd gps

any questions
Hey Pantyripper
with regard to having to ask the forum " any good questions to ask eagle at the interveiw"
Possably best to think of some yourself as they may be able to see through the common automated questions they hear once every two hours.
If you genuinely want to become a Co at eagle then i'm sure you have many questions.
Sorry about the spelling, this is why i don't have a real job

Inverted; dont' get trapped in the 'too many hours doing single pilot'. Some operators look at it being bad in that you won't be able to fly two-pilot after doing it all yourself fo so long.....
advice for what it's worth.....
I know one of your predecessors and he couldn't get hired by anyone other than the CAA! Don't know if that was the person or the hours (or a combination of both!)

I suppose that depends on whether or not you want to end up working for the CAA! 
I'd probably suggest getting enough time to meet their (the airlines) requirements but getting out as soon as you can! Don't get stuck in the rut and end up with a similar attitude to your predecessor because from what I understand, that didn't help him either! Make sure you keep up to date with 2 pilot routines as much as you can....
Every pilot is different and everyone want something different out of life. Keep your goals in focus and do everything you can to move ahead. If it means buying a type rating, do it! If it means moving, go! Keep selling yourself and keep yourself in everyone's faces. I'd also suggest keeping your resume updated at places like Freedom.... whos to say you can't skip the queue? They are screaming for pilots and I don't even think you need to buy the rating anymore..... food for thought! Also; use any contact you can!

Hey Inverted, let me know when you get a job, I'll gladly have your old one.
I am seriously struggling to find work with 1650 TT, 460 multi +100 IFR. Too much time for some, not enough for others.
Good luck with Eagle though. Sunair is supposedly looking now, but they had interviews way back in November, with (as far as I know) nobody taken on yet.
Anyone got any advice or ideas for me? My flying experience is mostly from Africa, so I don't know too much about the NZ industry.

Sharfted Groundhog -
I know that person your talking about that went to NZCAA.
From what I heard, the NZCAA head hunted him because of his industry experience, he wasn't really interested in an Airline job.
My view is that NZCAA need more like him, ( from the real world )
Inverted -
You can take advise from some people, but be carefull some advise will not be in your interests in the long term.
Carry on with what your doing, remember there are no shortcuts.
It will come your way, good luck.

My apologies then.... you obviously know more about the situation than I do - which wouldn't be difficult!
Totally agree with your advice to Inverted as well. Everyone is different, and you can only do your best.
