Good to know! Which base would you recommend to a West Coast commuter to start out with? I will be commuting out of GEG, so I'm guessing anywhere but MIA would be a cheaper crash pad and transportation.

2 mainline direct flights a day to DFW and one per day to PHX are your only single leg commute options. PHX is 320 only but was attainable on the first vacancy bid for my recent class, DFW was not but will be easy in the second bid. You can reserve the jumpseat up to 8 days out, first come first served. Commuting on OAL is an option too but not as reliable and would offer a direct to LAX.

Not having a dog in this fight I promise......Has anyone in the recent classes come across many from the WOs? I mean is it quicker for those at WOs to get on with AA vs. sitting it out and waiting to flow? A friend who's been at Envoy for about 2 years now and trying to see where he sit's on the flow ladder? Thanks!

Only 3 flows in my class, 5 years at envoy. A lot of previous envoy PSA and piedmont hires maybe 8, but they all left for other carriers before stepping to AA

been here about a year, in a class of 35 we had 8 flows, mostly from Envoy, most were around 5 years, 2 were at 3 years but leveraged a sooner class date because of CJO's from other legacies. Rest were 8 military and then CA/FO's from Frontier, Spirit, JetBlue, Atlas, Avianca, and a few from Skywest. (there were no regional FO's in my class)

What is the time frame to get a PHX FO bid as a new hire? Is it possible to get PHX right away as a new hire? What plane would it most likely be?

Airbus is the only option for PHX. In my class, PHX wasn’t offered, but I was able to bid to PHX in the first Vacancy bid

Any insight on how they view FOs from ACMIs when hiring? Is the experience viewed similarly as FOs from LCCs?

Be sure to pick the Bus in indoc if your seniority can hold it or you could be waiting 1.5-2 years before you could see PHX 320( seat lock plus withheld) if you go 737 first.
