just like all the others, we want to see if you can be a Capt. Now if you become a Capt that is 100% up to you. But even more than that looking to see that you are safe and are a good person to fly a 3-4 day with. Don’t over think it, be you! And listen to your interview prep!

According to the HR rep, the Pilot Skills test and work traits are for analytical data only. So take that for what it's worth. I thought the the work traits questionnaire was terrible and left feedback for it. The pilot skills test isn't something to worry about. Just do the practice runs and play the game.

Thank you! Definitely going through all the prep to prepare for this. If you have any advice I’m all ears or in this case eyes haha.

select interview date
 

So I was just logging in to aa.pilotcredentials to update my times and there were some new links on the sidebar menu that weren't there before. One was to select an interview date. Has anyone else seen this? I've seen/heard nothing about this. Anyone else see this?

Yes. Pick the date on which you’d like to interview. You should receive an email telling you to create a profile at some point, not much more. Basically, you’ve been selected.

When did you take the assessment?

Took the PST several months ago. Attended NGPA 3 weeks ago.

And, shortly after my post I realized that I had an email from AA HR regarding the interview process.

Thats a good sign, lol. You should have received an email about the interview and explaining the additional information.

Any mil people get offered a CJO, but then have mil orders pop up? Is there a time frame on the CJO or is there some kind of accommodation for mil orders?

Do you have CJOs at DAL and AA? If so, contact the hiring folks and they’ll tell you how they handle it.

So any of the wholly owed regional pilots that emailed a CJO to aa recruitment in hopes of an interview, how long did it take for recruitment to get back to you? Whether that led to an interview or TBNT outcome. Or have some just never heard anything at all? TIA!

I have an interview on April 13th and would like to get more info in terms of QOL. How many days off can you average on reserve? What is the most junior fleet/ base at this time and how long can you expect to be in reserve as a NH? Thanks in advance!

Can only speak for myself, but had a couple weeks SC, one month LC, then a line. Reserve 12 days off and usually didn't work 3 or 4 days on reserve. With a line 15-18 days off so far.

Does anyone know what to expect from the Work traits assessment from Pilot Credentials? Thanks

Are you like this or that?… and they’re both bad options. Don’t overthink it.

Is anyone who has received a class date recently willing to share your interview date?

Had a Newhire on the Jumpseat doing Observation Ride this week, and he was < three weeks from Application Submittal to Job Offer. I couldn't believe it.

it’s running at least 4-6 weeks from what I’m hearing.

It's longer than that now and continues to grow. A lot of people from late Jan still waiting on dates. Although there are a few people who got lucky in the process and are getting them in the 4-6 week time frame I would say the majority are seeing them 6-8 weeks now.

February 2 Interview and CJO
March 2 received invite for class on 3/30

Thanks- Feb 16th interview and waiting on a class date but it sounds like its getting closer. I know it slowed down a little with smaller classes and the skipped week.

Interviewed 8th of Feb. with CJO and waiting for class date. 🤞 🍀

I would think you feb 8th guys would be hearing something soon.

virtual interview
 

I have an onsite interview sked for next week but
received an invitation for a virtual interview to
accelerate the process. Is this normal? what can I
expect?

Yes, it’s normal. Expect to have an answer for “why AA.” They’ll also ask you to explain, in layman’s terms, how you would handle a minor emergency, and delve into your flight times and certificates. Have your ATP certificate number ready, as they’ll likely ask for that. It’s low threat…

Southwest or American?

I have an interview with both, but trying to weigh pros/cons

For anyone that may have been at a wholly owned regional and submitted a CJO from a different carrier to AA pilot recruitment, how long did it take for them to give you an interview offer or a TBNT? Also, do they wait for you to get off of AA property before extending you an invite (no bonus owed then)?

As always, it depends. Here is my .02

1.) Interview with both.
2.) decide if you will commute long term or want to live in base.
3.) look at retirement data (seniority is everything)
4.) is flying one style airframe or having wide body aircraft a want
5.) bear in mind airlines go from the prom queen to a truck stop trixie and back during a career.
6.) accept your first offer, and when the other offers the CJO make your decision.
and finally
7.) you will not know you made the right decision until you retire.

congrats on the interviews

(I'm at AA and don't regret it, I have a lot of good buddies at SWA and they don't regret it.)

When does AA get to be the prom queen? It’s been 20+ years of hanging out at the truck stop. Lol.

I appreciate the response. Lots of good perspectives to consider. I think the biggest factors for me will be living in base and retirement.

It all depends on base options imo. Do you want to commute or not…whomever has the livable base, go there…or even the closest base to home. Definitely go to both though.

Great guidance!

Have any Feb interviewees gotten class dates yet?

Any straight white males from WOs without connections or family members at AA getting hired lately?…

Go to United then try.

Are people seriously emailing a copy of UAL/DAL cjos to pilot hiring and it works- that seems odd to me.

how long after you applied did you get a call to schedule an interview?

Posts on AA RST are indicating six to eight weeks. CJO to class.

I got an email about a week after I applied to pick a date for an interview. Make sure you check your spam folder too, I have a friend that applied to a different airline and his invitation was in the spam folder.
