boy that is some spin. 18 months of pent up demand? Europe opening up DEFINITELY will be a booking stampede

I agree, seems incredibly short sighted by the company.

It seems that AA has pretty much decided that EU is a wash for summer 2021, excluding some markets like ATH and LHR.

I listened to that SOTA but I don’t see it as being a wash that easy when your competitors are going to do the flying (maybe). Even if we picked up some select destinations like FCO, CDG, FRA and add some more LHR could they even do that in the position they put themselves in? I saw AA training as being in the same boat as UA and DL and both of them are hiring earlier than expected.

I didn’t get that snippet about EU from the SOTA vídeo. Vasu said it on the Q1 earnings conference call.

I would have swore it came up in the Q&A in some form but all these things blend together now. Anyway, I hope AA can still capitalize on the good stuff they’ve done moving forward.

This chat was the closest I could find regarding AA hiring to ask this question (apologize if missed a better one). So on the AA pilot application system, do you have to be using a certain web browser for the Assessment step to work? I went through and completed everything on their application, even changed from draft to publish thinking that might be the missing piece but nothing seems to work. I click on the Assessment tab on the app and just get a blank page?! I’ve tried it in Chrome, IE and my iPad but still just a blank page for the Assessment’s tab. I’d appreciate any guidance, in case I overlooked some instructions about that Assessment tab. Thanks!

New application system, the assessment is not loaded yet. It’s not available to anyone, keep monitoring it.

Many people who have been at AA two years don’t have a training date in sight. I know of someone who was sent home from training due to instructor availability. There are also 330 guys on leaves who have to be trained that I know of. We’ll see how it plays out but I don’t think there’s much they can do at this point. In the meantime, I’ll continue enjoying month eight of vacation


Any updates to how training is going? Do all recalls have training dates yet?

I saw a post where one CJO said they were given an October class date, but wondering if anyone had heard of a class starting earlier than that.

None of the emails I've seen had an actual date attached. It was "for your planning purposes" they anticipate running classes in October.

Most of the recalls now have training dates in June. It seems like everyone will be qualified and out flying again by early July. The exception is the 3/17/20 new hire class.

Anybody want to hedge if they’ll take people before October?
