American hiring preferences
 

Hello,

I am currently flying 91 corporate for a fortune 50 company. I have previous 121 and 135 time and have had my app in with American for the last 8 years. It seems the only way to get an interview with American is either being military or through an Envoy/Piedmont/PSA flow. Does American hire 91/135 candidates? Thank you!

I think you need to know someone. Every person I know that got hired off the street there already worked at a wholly owned or B their parents are pilots there. I don’t even update that app anymore. I think they hired less than 40 civilian off the street this year...

Thats what I've gathered as well. Thank you

Other then money why are you looking to leave a Fortune 50 company?

I'm guessing money, stability, schedule, benefits, quality of life, and so on.
Most Fortune 5xx jobs suck compared to legacy jobs. The few unicorn jobs are extremely competitive, and not that stable (case in point: GE).

Networking, making new contacts, job fairs, volunteering, have to stand out someway

I’ve only received the video interview invite but am a current 91 pilot who flew 121 about 10 years ago

Do you have any letters of rec from an AA pilot on file? You need to. Several.You are also going to have to network, and make a contact with someone high up in management.
As was said, it's extremely difficult to get hired civilian outside the flow.

Tell your dad to get a job at American as a pilot then to recommend you. Seems to work for most.

Where's that Morgan Freeman "he's right, you know" meme?

I have to believe the military pipeline is drying up.
