Sounds wrong just saying it out loud but to pass on the flow puts a non-military pilot’s chances of getting on AA slim to none. What would the wise folks out there on the interwebs do assuming I would be commuting for life?
Get the job and commute. If you’re good enough to get an invite from Delta, I assume AA wants you too. Once you are at Delta, apply to AA as an off the street hire. You may even get their sooner than the flow. Waiting for a flow in this business is like fighting for “career expectations.”
