She'll ask you some basic questions
-Name all the planes in the fleet (777, 767, 757, 737, MD-80, and A300)
-What is adverse yaw?
-Maximum crosswind component of the plane you currently fly?
-Who is the CEO (Arpeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy)
-Who is VP of Flight (Mark Hetterman i.e. the Clerk)
-Some HR questions as well
If you look good on paper and wear a suit, you should kill the interview. They really need the people for the work. Hopefully you get a paid position but it all depends on your G.P.A. We figured that was how paid/unpaid was selected.
Good Luck!

Sounds like virtually nothing has changed since 2002, when I interviewed for the position! Be ready for the HR stuff, most of all. I bombed the rest of it, and was even too much of a bonehead to wear a suit, but since I did OK on the HR stuff, they offered me the position. She wanted to know who the CFO was, as well as the stock price of AMR, when I went down there.
Good luck!
