Even though you will lose your ability to pick your schedule you will enjoy being at work a lot more. When compared to a Regional, at AA you will be working less legs a day and have longer overnights in better cities and hotels (for the most part). For planning purposes you won't see second year pay until your 15th or 16th month after hire date. There are some weird non-industry standard stuff here at AA but not enough to turn it down over a Regional.

Nope, your "pay date" for the rest of your career starts at projected completion of training. And with the backups on SIMs people are seeing that projected date 3 to 4 months after first day of INDOC. The upside is that you will have two paid months at home awaiting SIMs.

Say you get assigned MIA/320/FO, you will get paid whatever the MALV for MIA/320/FO is that month.
It's usually somewhere in the mid-80s

first year aside, you will get what? 13 years or so of 16% direct contribution of your HIGHER income at AA....that will be significantly more than Skywest i assume...if you avg $200,000 in your time here(probably a low-ball figure too) that's $416,000...AA despite all the naysayers is better than a regional(I came from a regional, not a wholly owned).
