As far as AA nothing says you can't apply and get hired straight in.. circumventing the flow. And during the past year quite a few people have but still not that common. Mostly special case people like minorities and a guy who's father died on 9/11. I know one that simple worked the job fairs and got hired not knowing anyone but had a great resume with a masters, zero PIC -Envoy FO. Met the right guy.
I think a lot of people at Eagle just don't even bother so ya never know.
If your not married to an American airlines "large" base.. I would do the PIC route and go UAL-DAL.
