in case some of you were wondering how many put apps in;

It’s been just about 12 years since we last hired pilots, and as I said in the announcement, this means movement and more opportunity – things we’ve all been looking forward to. The application window opened on Oct. 1 and 24 hours later, more than 4,000 applications had been submitted. Suffice it to say, there is considerable interest, and I’m confident we’ll have our pick of the best of the best!

We’ve worked hard to simplify things and handle the massive workload of processing qualified applicants. Your feedback is important, so we’ve created an online method for you to recommend an applicant, which ensures that all information is tied to the correct person.

As you can imagine, my desk and my schedule are hectic, and my staff and I cannot effectively handle the influx of requests for new hire recommendations. I feel that if you’ve taken the time to write a recommendation letter, you want it to be associated with the correct person, so to make sure that I do not interfere with that process, I will not be accepting letters of recommendation through email or at my office.

To make a recommendation, be sure that the individual has completed the application and that you have the email address they used in their application profile. From there, it’s simple - goto AACareers.com, click on the “Apply now” link in the Pilot section, then click on the “Recommendations” tab in the upper right hand side of the page.

Is there anything we need to do on the aacareers.com site?

I have filled out pilot credentials, but am not seeing any open positions through aacareers.

Good luck to all.

On the rec it asks them if they want you to be able to see it. If they select no then you won't see it...

Click on the rec link to see for yourself, it will make more sense.

I take PayPal, cash, and bank wires.*

Good luck to those who applied!!

*...I'm totally joking and would never do or insinuate such a thing!

I've searched AA Careers as well but haven't seen anything regarding pilot positions or recommendations.

Forever, when do interviews begin? Does contact come via phone or email?

The AAcareers home page has this toward the upper right...

"It's not just what we do, it's who we are.
American Airlines is hiring pilots!

Whether you're ready to be hired now or just figuring out where you want to land your career, consider American because flying is more than what we do ... it's who we are. Apply now"

Hmmm maybe it's because I'm using an iPad, but I'll look on my laptop.

Did that cut and paste on my iPad.

Probably phone, and I'm guessing the first interviews will be held later this month or early November at the latest.

Good luck to all... It's good to see hiring again!
