Might be a good gig for a single guy or gal that wouldn't mind actually living in NYC or MIA. The other good part is that FO pay beats the CA pay at any regional.
If you are married, you may as well file the divorce papers the same day you get the congrats letter from AA HR.
JMO.
Yeah but, I'd being willing to bet the rsv work rules are a little better then a regional. As I understand there isn't even ready reserve at AA. I did 2 months of showing up at the airport at 0530 to 1330. Many before me have done much longer, ask a flowback. Perhaps it is because I'm young and single, that I'd take rsv at AA anyday over a line at Eagle....
