I've always wondered what exactly people are talking about with that statement.
Also, aside from filling out your entire airlineapps with everything and it showing you have the minimums, is there anything else one should do in the application process?
Thanks again to all for the help.
I interviewed and applied in Oct 10, My first application wasn't completed the way it should have, I filled it out at work on a break just to see what all was needed right after Eagle dropped the 200 hrs Multi requirement, needless to say I published the application. This was on a Sunday night by Tuesday afternoon I had an invitation to interview, no "2 day email". Long story short, I reviewed the application and crossed my T and dotted my i. I called HR explained the situation, they said don't worry about it. Also as we all know airline apps is a huge pain to get correctly when it comes to flight hours because they want everything broken down. I had a discrepancy of 20 hrs in my numbers when broken down the way airline apps wanted it. I called them and they told me not to worry about it. Now, I used a PDF program to fill the form they request you fill out and typed all the paperwork they wanted, I properly completed my airline apps application, printed it and brought it to the interview. All my paperwork was typed and organized, I even gave them the application that I had printed, they told me great, sign it here (you have to sign you app when you show up to interview) and he said we will just keep both, thanks for fixing it. I completed the interview and review board. Make sure your stuff is correct, make it neat, do the paperwork exactly how they want it and you will be fine. Eagle is huge on attention to detail, it's the culture here, it might seem crazy with all the Divestiture, hiring, upgrading and all the other stuff but it's still an organized mess. They want to hire as many people as possible because it's in AMR benefit to flow as many Captains to American as possible. To hold a line as captain it requires over 10 years on most bases. Divested or not AMR will control "Eagle" and the cheaper they can keep the workforce they higher profit they will make. Eagle might shrink, Eagle might be sold, Eagle might be divested but Eagle is going to have the highest movement in the near future. AMR spends upward of 30,000 dollars to train a new hire. Just on the month of October this year Eagle will spend nearly 2,500,000 dollars in training new hires that started class this month.
