Not that I've heard and I've been watching several different forums and inerview prep groups. Word on the street is that previous CJOs and WO flows will be taking the most of the slots through the end of the year. I hope to be wrong but anecdotally I haven't heard anything back yet.

AA has said that they will start interviewing in mid to late October again. But could change.

Not sure that the CJO pool that they are planning on to reach the 350 number this year is going to work out very well. Many with prior CJOs now either have a class date at another airline or have recently been invited for an interview. Two pilots from my former squadron have CJOs at AA but just got the interview invite from Delta. Given a choice of the two, Delta is a much better option for them. Another pilot has already started class at United but is expecting AA to give him a class date in the next few weeks (which he is going to turn down).

Yep, is a bit of moving around. I think AA waited too long to get things moving and opened the door for other airlines to grab their CJO holders before they started.

If he's already started and has no intention of going to AA, why wait? Just send them an email instead of playing games.

There are people that interviewed early February getting October dates. A lot of people who have started the interview process are waiting to interview also. So many of the 350 slots are taken by the flow, I unfortunately doubt that many, if any people who didn’t start the interview process pre pandemic will be getting in before next year, maybe some will start interviewing but they were sending out videos and doing 30-40 interviews a day. A lot of those people who had/completed videos I’m sure and hope would be first.

How does the flow contract work for AA? Is it a certain number of slots per year? A certain percentage?

Oh just wait until flows from the WOs go to class at AA to receive their $70,000 bonus and then resign within a few weeks to start class at United, Delta, or FedEx.

Is there a payback provision for minimum time at AA?

AA really had no choice. Through the end of August the schoolhouse was full with furloughed pilots doing requals. There was no room, literally, in the simulators for any new hires.

By Jul/Aug AA had no choice, but that was only because of bad staffing decisions they made earlier. They waited WAY too long to recall the furloughs (as evidenced by canceling flights all summer due to staffing). They probably shouldn’t have furloughed anyone to begin with, but that was at least a tough call. By Dec/Jan/Feb it was obvious they needed to be recalling those people. When did the first recalls start training? April?
