Yet OTS folks have extreme screening requirements.. almost impossible to get a call even with 10 times the variety and value of qualifications.
The flow agreement actually says they have to meet all of AA’s new hire requirements, and it says AA can change the new hire requirements.
If AA required 6,000TPIC for all new hires they would have to have 6,000TPIC to flow.
If AA said all new hires have to have a perfect training record, all the flow pilots would have to have a perfect training record to flow.
The agreement only exempts the requirement of a college degree, and an interview. Any other requirement AA places on new hires is also mandatory for flow pilots.
