FWIW, I completed my online assessment in DEC, haven't heard anything from AA since. But I'm in a different boat.. retired military, heavy jet time, unrestricted ATP w/ just over 5000 hours. Could have been I tubed the assessment, or they've just slowed that much, or ageism, or ....... who knows. Luckily, I don't "need" to work, but I want to. Would be interested in hearing from anyone who's waited a while and then heard back, as to how long it was so I know if they've moved past me or not. I have 3 other offers and 1 interview today. Thanks.

You guys are asking the wrong question here. It's not about what number you will retire that doesn't matter so much its all about how quickly you will move up. Maybe you can be the top dog at one airline for a single day before you retire. Our would you rather spend 25 years in the top 25% globally? This is what actually changes your lifestyle. Being in the top 1000 doesn't matter if you're not there until 64.

Also what you do with that seniority matters. That's where individual choice comes into play. AA, and others, have Captains in their 20's. Youngest at AA is 25. Even if he's the plug for 5 years spending 40 years as a Captain at a Big 3 airline has value beyond what most people would assign to someone that chooses to be a n/b FO for 40 years. |

Have you applied to the other Big 3 airlines (Delta, United)? Commuting is ok (easy enough) if you want to live in a AA crew base but don't get hired. Pursue DL and UA at the same time, go to whoever hires you first. Continue applying at 1, or both, of the other airlines if you prefer tham over the first airline that hires you. In the U.S. there is no training bond. Guys have literally based their type rating ride at airline X, walked down the hall to give their 2 week notice, and had the fleet manager say "don't bother going to the your base. We won't give you any IOE/LOE. Thanks for letting us know. Good luck." |

I finished my CPL with 157h and got hired as FO to fly the E170/190. After that joined a flag carrier on 320, furlough due seniority, joined another company on 320, then join the Middle East company on the 320, and after 3 yrs, fleet transfer to the 350. Right now I am also qualified as In Flight Relief, taking the left seat when the Captain is taking his rest. Almost all my hours are Part 121 equivalent, except for this 157h from the school. I am applying for the big 3, but I have 2 preferences. Thanks for your reply.
Apply. Let them decide. If you don't apply they'll never know you exist. Good luck. |
