Surely he was being sarcastic. Maybe a RJ FO newhire might say that, but going to a major??
That said, I'm with the original poster. AA is my hometown airline. I grew up in DFW and would love to be back. I was intern there about 3 years ago, so I have lots of ins and know lots of people there already. I understand about the DFW being senior and risks of being a junior FO there. My other problem is being stuck at my current regional with no upgrade in sight. Do you think AA will continue the no PIC time requirement in the future? Otherwise I'm going to have to get some PIC time somewhere somehow. Again, I know how the attitude is there. (well 3 years ago I did) I'm sure its a little different now.
