AA In-Person Interview
 

Hello, I have an interview coming up soon and thought it would be a great time to reach out to you professionals as I and many others in my shoes prepare. Other threads have so many pages to sift through with irrelevant and often petty posts. Can anyone who has recently went through the process provide some examples of questions and input about the day of the in-person interview? Those of us aspiring to join AA would be grateful for your help!

Pay for the Aviation Interviews subscription. Hundreds of interview reviews. Worth every penny for a multimillion dollar career.

also get with Judy Tarver (google search) for prep

This is your answer. Or at least someone at Spitfire who used to be at Pilot Counseling Services.

^^^^^ This!

It is all I used.

Pay for a prep service. I personally used Spitfire and successfully landed a CJO with AA at 1500.1 hours (military)

I am active duty preparing for the switch. Did you have to wait until you were ATP checkride completed? The United and Delta processes are pretty straightforward, but the AA pre-application questionnaire seems to drive a need for all requirements being accomplished before application.

Indeed. I used Emerald Coast, 100% worth it.

You need an ATP to apply. How you define applying is up to you and the airline- maybe it is starting the application or maybe it is publishing the application.

Before you publish the application, make sure it is what you want to defend at an interview. The interview team will take a snapshot of your application sometime between when they start looking at your applcation and when you interview (this goes for every airline)- you won’t know when that snapshot is taken, but it will be taken.

I don’t know what your resume looks like, but the pair doing my interview were very interested in my non-flying work-experience. Probably spent half the time talking about my work experience outside the cockpit (education).

Also, they will give you scrap paper. Use it.
