Sounds like you're doing the right thing by joining a regional to get your flight time up to where it will be competitive. Emerald is good for prep. Also start hitting the job fairs such as WIA etc. And I'd strongly recommend taking the time to get a 4 year degree. Without it, your chances of landing a job at AA, or any other legacy for that matter, are quite slim without being well connected to someone with some pull. Good luck!
For the degree, not necessarily: going to one of our WOs would open up the flow option. Wouldn’t be quick, but it’s an option.

Less than 1000 121 PIC and only an associates degree? Not really competitive. There are THOUSANDS of regional pilots with college degrees and 1000 PIC time at a 121 that are more qualified. A flow through might be his best shot, unless he finishes a 4 year degree and gets some more 121 PIC time.

In reference to the “less then a 1000 hours 121 PIC” mentioned above^^^. I am at 1000 hours 121 PiC. I’ve got another 3000 hours of 135 single engine Turbine PIC and 5000 single engine recip.
Does AA care about any of the single engine Turbine time?? I do assume that the single engine recip is essentially worthless!!
I have a degree and I was a 135 Check Airman with other duties.

I agree... I am planning on going back home to CLT and work for a WO regional. Try to build my 121 time and hopefully some 121 PIC, I’m already working towards the 4yr degree online with liberty. I still want to send my app to a consulting company, in this hiring environment you will never know... All I know is if I don’t apply and polish my resume as best as I can, I have an automatic No, I’m just trying to aim for the “Yes”. Thanks for the positive tips and responses. I’ll try Cage Marshall, lets see how it goes.
happy flying everyone!

The others are correct regarding your degree. Get it as fast as you can as well as more TPIC. PSA is where I d go if you live in CLT.
Good luck!
