I'd love to be Philly-based, so the only route to there is through AA now, yes?
Just want to be sure I'm not missing something frightfully obvious.
Airways stopped all interviewing sometime last summer. It now is all done in Dallas. They assign folks to either certificate now and until there is one seniority list. Having a single certificate doesn't change the fact that there are essentially three airlines.
America West and Airways merged in 2005 and even in 2015 guys who were PHX based can't leave and guys who are east coast based can't bid into PHX. That will change once the SLI is complete.
So to answer your question the only way to be PHL based as a new hire is to get assigned to the east however that will change hopefully within the year to allow folks to move around as the SLI is completed.
