I have my interview next week and was hoping to gain a bit of knowledge about life as a pilot at AA beforehand.
1. How flexible are the schedules?
Flexibility is there. Sometimes easy, sometimes not. Our system, TTS, is still problematic although items from our new contract are coming that are supposed to help it.
Like what specifically? Absolutely zero was done during negotiations to fix TTS. The mindset for this company is that schedule flexibility comes with seniority, and ONLY seniority, and until you have it you don't deserve it. Also it is amazing how many people I fly with who think that trip trading is not needed anymore because that was what switching to PBS was supposed to solve. The point being is that the union has very little interest in fixing this aspect of QOL.
