I know many like stats and timeline, so here it is:

Military background, 3150 TT, 2825 Multi Turbine PIC, Mil EP/IP on resume, all single seat fighter time except UPT & IFF. ~180 general aviation hours in 172's. Still flying for the Reserves.

Master's degree, 3.7 undergrad GPA, heavily involved in college with organizations, etc.

Timeline:
Oct 2013: Applied
1 Aug 14: Video Invite
5 Aug 14: Video Interview completed
13 Aug 14: More Info Request on Pilot Credentials
21 Aug 14: Invited to F2F with 2 Sep available date...couldn't make it due to being out of country
AA paused off the street interviews early October
~Mid Nov: Received classy you're in a holding pattern email from AA saying my F2F invite still stands once they start back up again.
30 Dec 14: Invited again to F2F
14 Jan 15: PST , then 15 Jan 15: Interview
27 Jan 15: Received letter from FAA saying AA had requested flight records
29 Jan 15: Received job offer via phone call from Chief Pilot late afternoon......2 weeks exactly after interview

Contrary to what I'd read before on here, I never received an electronic background investigation email/request. I updated my app about 1-2 times per month.

Hope this helps some and best of luck to all!
