I was thinking the same thing, and then the company could delay our LOS pay raises every year. I don't think there are easily available records of training completion though since it never mattered, so I think the APA will be stuck with changing AA new hires over to DOH based seniority.

C5,

As was stated, DOH starts the day you start class. Right now you have a conditional job offer. If another 911 were to happen, you'd basically not have a job or a job offer anymore, which is why IMO it's important to keep pursuing other Airlines while you wait. If the music stops, you want a seat somewhere.
