AA Application
 

While we're all waiting for the app window to open.. does anyone know if AA will be using a separate application (like airlineapps) or will they be combining their application process and use us airways' application (hope not!)?

AA's hiring is separate from USair's.

is the window open yet? thought it was 1 Jul

No...they haven't announced hiring officially yet.

Will they call it an AApplication?

Sorry I had to.

I'm kinda wondering when any official announcement will be made. There was that flurry of rumors stating interviews by August yet here we are in July and they still aren't even taking apps yet...

They are probably going to wait till after the por date.

Once that happens they can be sure of lots of things and move forward with their long term plans. I'm sure you'll see fleet mixing in bases and that will require more pilots.

The Equity Payout requires returning furloughees to notify the company by no later than August 1st of their intent to un-defer their recalls. Additionally, they must be scheduled for a class beginning no later than 90 days after August 1st - end of October. Therefore, there's been a flood of unanticipated (by the company) un-defers trying to get in under the wire. This has caused about about a 3 to 4 month backup in their original schedule.

Actually, you have to be scheduled for a class before the Aug 1 deadline. AA only schedules 30 days in advance and is only holding two 25 person classes per month.

In other words you can forget about the Sep and Oct undeferred folks from getting any money which will probably loosen things up sooner than the 3 months anticipated by 450knot.

It's an unbelievably stupid policy decision by the APA which is screwing a whole bunch of folks out of some serious cash. The worst part is that there has been no explanation as to why. Just silence!

Hate to say this, but APA does not impress much so far. Their communication is atrocious!

These folks have been on "deferred" status for how long?
