Good luck with that boys. AA will only go further down the perverbial glory tube. I for one wouldn't work there if I had too. Haven't even applied. I've saw enough of the glorious operation know as AA/airways in the past few years to know I'd never want to work for them. They are the spirit of the majors. I'll hold out for better.
Have you ever been on a legacy AA js? AA pilots are down to earth. What you are discribing is the crap that USAirways brought over to AA. Eagle/Envoy is the only pilot group that deserves flow. The guys flowing to AA from Envoy went through the same interview process as AA street hires. PSA and PDT will/do hire anyone with a pulse and sadly those pilots will flow to AA. Reason you're not updating your resume is because you know you have no chance at AA.

Oh the stuff I've heard and seen. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the rides and I am sure that its not everybody as a whole.... but man it sure does seem you guys are attracting the junior varsity team in terms of new hires.
I'm sure there (AA)New Hire Classes brings in twice as much experience as the other legacy carriers combined. Far from JV for sure.
However there was a guy that was 23 years old in my Class from TSA. Guess he could be considered JV for a Legacy carrier.

I'd keep updating my App if I were you. Out of a class of 40 they did hire 3 outside the flow and military. There's a chance for sure and off the street regional hire isn't totally out of the realm.

As Piedmont is filling classes and actually a good % of new hires are AWAC peeps.
Those great AWAC people you speak of will get hired at the other 3 Legacy carriers or if American is high on there list they can go to one of the WO's for a quick upgrade and a guaranteed job at American.
As for lucky. Hmmmm, I guess AirTran people are lucky (SouthWest). I guess America West Pilots..the airline that everyone went to if they didn't get hired at Delta, United, or Airways should now feel lucky they work for the worlds largest airline.
It is what it is. Do I feel lucky? Hell no. Fortunate is more like it because I avoided the road of all the furloughs and pay cuts in the late 2000's. Lucky I don't feel that way at all.
Yea! Hell yea Air Tran pilots were lucky, have you seen their payscale and today's SWA pay scale. Call it what you want but reality is, you work for the largest airline in the world simply because you were at the right place at the right time, luck.

Never wanted to work for American. US Airways was always the only carrier because of the bases. But I'll take it because we've kept our bases.
Talk about the right place at the right time. My dad is a retired Military pilot and as a kid I remember people giving one of his buddies crap about going to a small outfit in Memphis flying Falcon 20's while the others went to PanAm and Eastern. Talk about luck! He retired a MD11 Millionaire at FedEx.

Being selected to interview by an HR computer program is luck too.

I do agree driving to work is a big perk! Haha that's a good example of good and bad luck.

Agreed. Majority if not all street hires at AA had someone higher up pulling for them.

With a fuse like yours, I don't see you getting hired anywhere.
