What are they looking for in the medical (had mine at ORD this weekend, had to do the blood pressure test twice to pass but she didn't seem too worried--would she have told me then if I had failed)?
Thanks in advance
I believe the medical stuff is just to pass the drug test and that your in good health without keeling over on the ramp. I worked as an agent in good old DBQ when I was in college for Eagle. The flight benefits were good and did lots of traveling non-rev. Just be flexible when your traveling and have plenty of outs (other flights incase you don't get on). Always list yourself for first class and if its not available they will put you in the back. Be extra friendly to the AA gate agents, esp in ORD, they can tend to be alittle grumpy at times. You will figure the system out quickly when you start to travel. Your lucky, you get flt benefits right away, when I started I had to wait 6 months before I could do any traveling. Enjoy!
