How do you enter dual received time in say a c172 on pilot credentials? Do we enter it as SIC time or do we just skip it? If thats the case then total time and time on pilot credentials wont match!!

Yes. Enter dual as SIC. You can add it in the notes if you want that it's Dual. Or not, and they'll ask or they'll know since it's 172 time that they won't really worry about anyway. Good luck.

Thats bad. And this is from the airline that wants you to believe they can process thousands, hire 1300 then train them. All while the new hire training has choked down to 737 and Airbus. Gone are the 757/767, 190 and 330 fleets and sims to absorb pilots. Additionally "shutting "down the CLT training center for Airbus and the down time of moving 320 sims to Dallas. They will be lucky to do 800. No, 600.
chip Long wants to appear as a genius with the "shutdown " of CLT training center. When the smoke clears, the AAL group still has the center and its inherent costs. It's all moved to wholly owned status. It makes no sense. Lots of high fives around the boardroom however....

It's this.

Not trying to be a butthole, but read the FAQ...

I need good karma so I’m just gonna post the info.

Q: What are the differences between PIC, SIC and Instructor Time when logged into the Flight Hours?

A: Here are the guidelines:

• PIC (Pilot In Command) = Any time you signed for the plane as aircraft commander
  or solo including all instructor time.
• SIC (Second In Command) = Any time you acted as second in command and/or didn't sign for the plane.
  This DOES include dual/student time.
• Instructor = Only the time you logged as an instructor, regardless of the time being reported in PIC.
  Instructor time is PIC time. It belongs in both columns.

They seriously want to know every single aircraft type??
even if only 1.3 in a J3 cub 25 years ago?
Wow…

They're testing you. How neat and organized are you? How bad do you want it?

yeah! Show us how much you want cheese and RO!!!

Or just for you Al, how bad you want that nice 73 flight deck? You know what they say, when Jesus comes back, his plane of choice will be the 737!

That must be why I mutter his name every time I get in and out of that (his father/damn) cockpit.

you think that's bad....when I was flight instructing in ATL area living in an apartment with a bunch of other instructors my car got broken into and flight bag with my log books got stolen...this was like 2005/2006 before everyone went to digital flight books so I had to go through the pain staking process of rebuilding my log books and explaining it to a notary public to get it stamped and then having to explain it during every airline interview I went through after that, fun....it all worked out thankfully but man was that a task.

At airways In 2012 I showed up with a paper logbook that was done week by week at the regionals. I did leg by leg the first year or two but flying 6-8 legs of turboprops a day was annoying so I switched to basically trip by trip / week by week. They didn’t care.

That was Airways. They hired questionable people.

Yeah no kidding. Bunch of ****ing weirdos!

I just made a new airplane called “single engine piston” and another called “multi engine piston” and put all my time like that. And then I had my jet time broken down. I got hired and they never asked any questions. Don’t overthink it.

Anyone else notice that when you go to print your application on pilot credentials, the country is missing on all the addresses and the veteran status does not show up? Also comments about failed check-rides if any don't show up?

Yes. It's been like that for months. Just one of many bugs waiting to get fixed.

Just wanted to clarify things when you new hires bid for aircraft. This is what the 737 looks like from the Airbus.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...dfb5170d8e.jpg

Now if they would just open a BOS base for it.

What’s it looking like for base choices for new hires? Any chance for DCA?

It's possible you could get it initially but even if you don't, you will be able to hold it within a few months. A bunch of returning furloughs got it and I'm sure most want to go elsewhere, opening it up for new hires.

what about DFW any aircraft.. for new hires?

Not since the MD80. Notice how I didn’t call it a super 80.

I think DFW was taking around 9-12 months to hold prior to covid.

But do you call it The Jet?

No. I call it the plane. Airliners can have props too

WB
 

What is current time to hold wide body FO? What is junior wb base? Thanks

Bottom WB FO is around 11,300, early 2017 hire. LGA is the junior WB base. Pre-Covid DFW was running fairly junior as well. LAX is senior and seems to be dying on the vine. Honestly if your goal is international flying I would strongly suggest turning your sights towards UAL.

How come?

Just my observations and I'm sure I will be corrected shortly. But from this line pilot's point of view it appears that the only international region which AAL is committed to serving long term and has a true competitive advantage is Latin America. Just a few years ago we were the self proclaimed premier LAX carrier to the Pacific. Now it's a ghost town. We struggle to compete with DAL and UALs international product and tend to launch service only to cancel it later. My worry is that in the next 10 years we will park the 772s and won't have the financial wherewithal to purchase 777Xs. We might be left with about 100 787s plus our 321XLRs to carry the load. That would put the widebody fleet at around 10-15% of the total fleet. Meaning a very long wait to the left seat of a heavy. I believe UAL has nearly 40% Group 3 and higher. Of course that could all change if the SEA gateway via Alaska codeshare and JFK tie up with Jetblue actually works. Fingers crossed.

It's currently about 30 years to hold FO trips to Asia for legacy AA pilots. Probably mid 20's for ex West pilots.

Is there a “key” to getting an interview? I am Veteran (non-flying), have my degree, almost to 3000 TT and 1300ish 121, so my times aren’t overwhelming, but I do have an internal recommendation.

other than just getting more time, and obviously getting TPIC, is there anything else that helps get an interview here?

you don’t have any pic time? Not sure how many bonus points you get for being a vet, military pilot matters a great deal, being a shoe clerk, meh.

I am relatively certain that internal recs only help after you get an interview. Getting the interview is essentially controlled by a computer.

Good luck.

Go to job fairs, a good meeting with a recruiter could make all the difference.

Get adopted by a management pilot

AA Hiring
 

LMAO, that's the way to go!

AA Hiring?
 

Did that change? When I was at the job fair portion of 2017 SkyBall, the hiring team specifically stated that internal recommendations through PilotCredentials added points to an applicants computer score; specifically, 3 LORs was the magic number to max out the points in that area.

I bet that trash can has more leg room than our 737s do....

haha I noticed this few weeks ago on a DH. It really makes you appreciate the bus.
