Thanks for all the info thus far. I was fortunate enough to get offered a CJO this week and I'm super excited to get started at American! I was wondering though, following indoc, what is the average break you experience before you start ground school?

When you pick your base and airframe, you can also pick from the available class dates. If you're old, you might be able to pick a later date. If you're not old relative to the rest of the class, you get what you get!

I’m about to move up 20% the list on 190 in a single vacancy. You will get what you want very quickly. A 11400 was awarded G4 Fo and and G2 Captain. So.. like 3-4 years till left seat 73 if you want it.

Thought I would resurrect this thread since there are new hire classes this month.
1. Is the info in this thread still valid? (perhaps someone from the resumed classes in July could chime in)
2. When does the probationary period start? Date of hire, Expected training completion date, or IOE signoff?

As to number 2 question,
probation ends at the earlier of either
12 months from your date of hire(indoc start date).
OR
400 hours of credited hours of work and completion of 1st recurrent training course.
Since recurrent is now a 12 month cycle. It will most likely end at 12 months from INDOC start date.
Other things you should know, unlike other carriers,, there is NO 401(k) direct contribution from the company until you have 12 months of service with the company. If you spent 12 months at a wholly-owned regional of AA, that does count.
2nd year pay does not begin until 12 months after planned completion of your LOE (check ride). You will know that date (CLASification date) when you select your plane and base in INDOC.
