A CA I know here took over a plane I brought in recently and said AA wouldn’t care about a CJO from anything other than another Legacy. Doesn’t make much sense but whatever.

Also I think this threaten 'em with a competing CJO thing is funny. The sense of entitlement in the younger generation astounds me. It's like Milton in Office Space. "I could take my American Express Traveler's cheques to a competing resort. I could put strychnine in the guacamole. I could set the building on fire". It'd be pretty funny if American's response to his CJO threat is to fire him from PSA which would also get his CJO canceled. Then he'll get his job back in 9 months and play a country song backwards but be a PSA lifer.

Plus my two weeks are already in so good luck.
I'm sure your new employer will be able to easily figure out who you are from this and your previous posts. I'm sure they'll be totally cool with you trying to leverage their CJO for a job at AA. So good luck.
Some of the stuff people post on the internet for everyone in the world to see blows me away.

Not a threat. I have no dog in the fight. I'm just an old "boomer" trying to help the kids out by suggesting you don't live your life on the internet cause guys like me are still running stuff and don't think its as cool as you do. That's all. Take it or leave it.

Leveraging one job for another is smart. It’s something that happens in most other industries. Airlines could give a fudge… if anything, it shows AA you have tenacity and a desire to stay once you arrive. Hell… The other airline might even appreciate not wasting money training you… This market has most pilots holding multiple offers. No airline can afford word getting out that they are being vindictive or butthurt
