The AA, Delta, United etc of today will look completely different in five or ten years, yet alone 20.
I’m not saying that AA is the best choice when you take the long view, just saying when it comes down to it it’s a gamble on the future of the company and how it effects your career trajectory. That gamble looks different for everyone.
Don’t forget that even highly qualified candidates don’t have pick of which company they want to work for. I wish they’d have a shortage of people coming here but I don’t see it.
Yeah. I wouldn't not apply to AA.
I wouldn't not accept a job at AA either, unless you have other offers. Most folks don't have multiple offers in hand before their class date, but some mil do, at least in good times.
