lol I thought the same thing. Pretty sure the agents in Philly have no idea who United or air wisconsin are.

I asked someone I know who does recruiting. You'll take a written test for general knowledge. All from the ATP written. Know Approach plates, how to read them and symbols. If you're not familiar with Jepps, they have the others. But I'd read up on them.
Then it's just an interview to see who you are and if you're someone they would like to be able to fly with for 4 days. Come in with a positive and upbeat attitude. Show them you want to be here and you'll do just fine.

I had two gate agents in PHL tell me that AA wasn't happy at our announcement and plans to hold Air Wisconsin to the fullest of the agreement. But with the flying cut in half from this time last year, I can't see how they can make us fly 65 planes up to February of 2018 and then say "Take a walk".
I guess by now, some sort of exit strategy must be getting put in place.
Wondering what our next dominoes will actually become? I guessing IAD and ORD. For those in ORF, I hope they can figure a way to keep ORF. But they'll have to find new crew facilities as the one in ORF is in AA operations area

I never take what those gate agents say seriously.
I'm not worried. We made the big announcement and so did United. So it's official.
At least we get to go to the big dance, unlike your Dawgs will get to go!
Ok maybe the NIT. Maybe!

The company probably surprised AA with the UA announcement and still needs to come up with a draw down plan for our AA flying. DCA will probably be the first to go this summer.
We will probably see the closure of PHL/DCA/ORF as crew bases once the transition starts, ORF will be a RON MX base only as well as MKE and CAE. The UA flying out of our AA bases is not enough to support crew bases, people who live in PHL/ORF should expect to learn how to commute. If you're butthurt about suddenly having to commute, ask the DEN/ORD guys what it was like back in 2006.

The only people that knew UA was talking to ZW, were UA and ZW. So yea, it probably came as a surprise to AA that we are moving our whole fleet over to UA within a year. Flying for UA could come earlier than 02/2018, and I don't think AA was prepared for that.
AA could have been waiting for ZW to bid even cheaper flying to stay afloat after 02/2018. Yes, I'm no dummy that we have been slowly replaced by the WO's at our domiciles. But, I'm also sure that AA still wanted some lift out of us, albeit at a much lower rate than we were at, even with the extension we were on.
My post was more about the wild speculation of what our rad new domiciles will be... ASE! DEN! EWR! LAX! SFO! whatever!
As far as we have been told, its gonna be ORD and IAD so start making plans if you live near PHL, ORF or north of DCA.
Commute to live, live to commute.
