AA Electronic Access
This question is intended for AA pilots (or AE pilots who may know):
What internet access do AA Pilots have to electronic information such as:
Flight Schedules, Bidding, Flight Time Export (.csv, .txt and .xls formats?) Payroll, Healthcare Open Enrollment and Standby Travel?
Has AA developed browser support for accessing this information or specific web enabled programs? If so, are these programs developed in house or by a third party? Are OS X (Mac) or iOS (iPhone/iPad) platforms supported?
Thanks in advance.

ok, now that I got that out of my system, I'll try to help. I am AE. You must realize, to begin with, that AMR uses 'sabre', a computer system that looks similar to MS-DOS, but is harder to use. scheduling, bidding and review of flight time are all covered under this system. there are some third party websites that will auto-bid and export flight times for a small amount of $.
Payroll and benefits (including travel) are handled separately by a more typical corporate website. For certain functions, the website just provides links to another website, such as JPMorgan or Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Lastly, employee travel and 'sabre' each have their own app for android and iOS. Each app has some quirks and drawbacks, but they're better than nothing...especially because the company is providing them.
