During Covid they were cold calling, someone left me two messages. That's sketchy lol.

Long time thorn in their side got the cold call. He, and others, were surprised - "they called XYZ fo see if he wanted to be a CKA!?!?"

Take out non transport category TPIC time, fighter time, figure out DL/UA/SW etc, etc were all getting the same candidates, and your requirement would have limited AA to 100-200 pilots that year?

I don’t buy that tall tale for a split second.

What's the "tall tale"? The number of candidates with 1000 hrs TPIC? Recruiting used to provide that data at training or job fairs. Screen shot is Nov 2022 so fall 2022 data?? "Current applicants" - 5,893 "How do they Rack n Stack?" 1,456 'Competitive Applicants' (500 hrs TPIC) and 'Highly Competitive Applicants' (1000 hrs TPIC) was 741.

On the left side of the PowerPoint they had the ethnicity/race breakdown and on the right side they had the Mil/Civ and male/female breakdowns of the 3 categories - 'current', 'competitive' and 'highly competitive'.

Of all the candidates MIL was 18%, 27% of 'competitive' and 31% of 'highly competitive.' It was just a snapshot of the hiring pool in mid/late 2022.

2022-2023 the U.S airlines hired 25,324 pilots. The typical busy year was just shy of 5,000/yr. That's why the bottom dropped out of the minimum requirements and 1500-1800 TT CFI's were getting job offers.

Realistic timeframe

What’s the current/realistic timeframe from interview to class start date?

2-3 months.

Prepping logbooks and getting everything cleaned up for the in person interviews. Everything is nice and simple for the most part but wanting to tab it out to make things simple for them. Has anyone else done this and what did you tab out? Obvious milestones, check ride passes, fails, ATP reqs, did you tab reqs comepleted for each individual rating or just ATP? Thanks for the help.

Current Competitive AA Minimums

What are we seeing for lowest amount of time people are getting interviews and CJOs with in early 2026? Do most all still have TPIC? Getting ready to upgrade at a LCC. No TPIC yet but AA is the goal!

Interested...

Had a meet and greet at NGPA. Noticed the lady at check in drew a star on my resume. That must be a good thing right? I know American does interviews at conventions but that didn’t happen for me, even though I hoped it would haha…they told me to upgrade and volunteer, that’s what they like to see. Did anyone get CJOs at NGPA?
