The internship was under the AMR umbrella. Of the 12 interns 2 of us were sent to the Eagle side. I worked in the safety department. I never brushed shoulders with any chief or similar at AA nor used anyone I met from my internship as a reference as they were Eagle.

10/22 class:

LGA/320/D: 23
DCA/737/D: 3
LAX/737/D: 5
LGA/737/D: 8
PHL/190/I: 2

At this point I'm wondering what percentage of real estate in Kew Gardens is crash pads. It's got to be close to %50.

Well that depends on your data set. If you’re talking population then greater than 50% with 30+ warm bodies to a crashpad.

Any Republic or Skywest in this class?

Dixie320

Yes. I know of one SkyWest in that class. Does it matter though? And no, this pilot did not deny a jumpseat.

KodiakRS

Don't know. I only saw the available jobs, not the class list itself.

The lga 320/d has gone from 190 to 290 pilots in less that 2 yrs (assuming the most recent vacancy bid showing 290 pans out).

Not necessarily. I was hired last year with 5 internal recommendations. All were FO’s at the time of my invite. I graduated from a 4 yr university with a 2.8 GPA. I had a 4.0 GPA in grad school, but got hired at an airline and never finished the degree, so that didn’t help me. I also took an online certificate course at an Ivy League university.

As for flying, I had been a 135 check airman, a 121 check airman, and instructed at an AF aero club and had IFS students. I was told that allowed me to check the mil IP box without having served in the military and I was not questioned on it. I flew as captain on the ATR, CRJ, and as an FO in 737NG’s.

I did not have family connections. I tried to check as many boxes off in the application as I could and I literally updated daily for over a year, though I don’t know if that helped. I’d wake up, sign in, and hit save to update the time stamp on my app, then go about my day. Every few weeks I’d update the flight time. Not sure what triggered the invite but it came a few weeks after adding the 5th internal rec, an FO that I never flew with but knew from college.

Are you kidding us? You checked mil ip box because of your aero club experience? Thats what got your app looked at. Personally I am cool with mom/dad helping their kids and It is obvious you deserved to be hired at AA except for one 1 big thing: a totally lack of integrity. You lied on your app.
