Failed the interview process and got hired? You don't understand how the hiring process works at AA. Wanna know how I know? Because no one knows how the hiring process at AA works. It's a black hole by design.
There's a guy flying at PDT who interviewed at AA and got sent packing. He has a close relative who flies a wb at AA. That's just one that I know of and I'm sure it's happened multiple other times. People don't usually broadcast failures.

Did you personally review all these friends resumes? It's not all about the flying part. Typical off the street hire at AA isn't a thing that really exists either.
All I will say is there are a ton of people at PDT who spout out this same "mommy or daddy" catch phrase like you are, while sitting on their hands and doing nothing to make themselves competitive. Throw around snide comments like this yet are just your standard line pilot, doing no volunteer work, not a LCA, not hustling for recommendations or networking. Makes me laugh
You should leave this whole knocking your coworkers thing at Piedmont by the way. No better than the guy who started this thread trashing the group you'll soon be in my friend.
