DCA, and BOS, have had their junior moments and times when there's been no movement so if you're not in the base it's almost impossible to get there, which makes anyone moving in for the few opennings pretty senior.
Typed in current AA equipment? IMO that would be, at best, a very minor plus on an application. The total resume, IMO, would be more important.
Still can't believe MIA is that junior. I mean, i believe you Sliceback, but am amazed that that is the case. I always assumed that the more senior guys that want to live by the beach bid there, or that live in the Keys maybe... Anyways, not crazy about LGA, DCA or BOS.... But hopefully things will be different once hiring begins.
So being typed in equipment that AA flies carries little weight. What does AA like to see on a resume then? I mean, are they usually pretty picky or if they see that you have the turbine PIC time and have been flying 121 for the last X number of years, is that good enough? Also, I know that AA has never gone for nepotism, at least in the past. Any chance that they may entertain that in the future? I mean, considering the amount of hiring they most likely will have to do, one would think that would be taken into consideration. SWA didn't used to take referrals, but now they do, so wondering if change is on the horizon for AA also... Not that my dad was a pilot for them, but he did turn wrenches for them for 35 years and started with them back in the early 60's. So, i would hope that they might like to see some loyalty, ya know? Thanks again guys....
