don’t know how common it is anymore, but it was pretty routine for a while, mostly military getting a touch and go then getting hired.

I know of 2 recently hired outside the flow who say they’re in October classes.

Newly interviewed or prior pool?

Those are just 2 that I know. There’s probably more. And AA used to love hiring pilots outside the flow from the WOs. Hiring has only just begun so we have no real idea if it will continue or not. I’m not so sure that the bonus upon flow will make a difference to AA one way or the other. It is already a sunk cost as far as they’re concerned.

Hi all,

Thanks for reading my mssg with regards to AA hiring.
I am completely new to the industry in the US and came across this forum.

My situation is as follows: currently in the UK and wife can get relocation to Miami which we are considering (including green card for the family)
I currently work for a legacy (13 years) and have about 10.000 jet hours with currently a 777 rating. Time to wide body-command was not too far away but due to C19 is now few years away again (3-5 at least).

Assuming I have changed my European license to an FAA one, my questions are:

- Would AA hire directly onto a widebody, or would I have to do a Typerating again and start on something else?
- How much influence does a new joiner have wrt domicile/base? Miami being the preferred one in my case
- What would be my total gross salary for say the first few years?
(I came across a salary calculator but not sure I am doing that right and if there is other variable income to consider)


It has always been something we wanted to do (move to the US) but I don’t want to commute anymore or move every 2years because of the kids.
Many thanks for taking the time to reply. Feel free to write me a PM if this is not in line with the thread of this Forum.

You will not get hired into a widebody. The airplane you’ll fly is 100% dependent on seniority, which means that you most likely will get hired into the 73 or the Airbus 320.

Miami has been trending pretty junior lately, so you’ll probably be able to be based there fairly soon after getting hired.

As far as money is concerned there’s a lot of variables that come into play but a good rule of thumb is to get the annual pay rate and add three zeros to come up with a ballpark figure

Thank you Sigler for the info.

Out of interest, if I would be allocated 73/320 at Miami and wanting to stay there, how long would it be to get back onto 777/787?

Thanks in advance!
