I don't post much, just a lurker. I used Centerline last year and they were great. After working with the guys in a few sessions, I felt totally prepared. Not only are they great at what they do, but they are very personable. They can really help you to relax in a stressful time. I couldn't ask for any better results as I got hired at US Air and Southwest. Nothing but two thumbs up from me.

I used Centerline as well. I actually used them before the OBAP career fair, which is really what helped me make the impression on Alaska, which got me the interview. I used them again before the interview and was hired. Good guys and they had a very thorough and detailed gouge. I was a lot more confident after using them.

Does he still upgrade? Aren't there specific requirements and if there are, do they get waived for a displacement?

My understanding is they will call a pilot with an upgrade bid that will be awarded to verify their times. They require I think 500 hours 121 time and up until now, off of probation. I don't know the specifics of this case, but he is on the award, 52 from the bottom of the seniority list.

Long time lurker but made an account to say that I recently had the great fortune of receiving a video invite. Completed it and am hoping for the "more info" request. Thanks to all of you who have posted timelines and past experiences to help out others.

I was honored to get a job offer today from American! I'm looking forward to joining the team ASAP.
I know many like stats and timeline, so here it is:
Military background, 3150 TT, 2825 Multi Turbine PIC, Mil EP/IP on resume, all single seat fighter time except UPT & IFF. ~180 general aviation hours in 172's. Still flying for the Reserves.
Master's degree, 3.7 undergrad GPA, heavily involved in college with organizations, etc.
Timeline:
Oct 2013: Applied
1 Aug 14: Video Invite
5 Aug 14: Video Interview completed
13 Aug 14: More Info Request on Pilot Credentials
21 Aug 14: Invited to F2F with 2 Sep available date...couldn't make it due to being out of country
AA paused off the street interviews early October
~Mid Nov: Received classy you're in a holding pattern email from AA saying my F2F invite still stands once they start back up again.
30 Dec 14: Invited again to F2F
14 Jan 15: PST , then 15 Jan 15: Interview
27 Jan 15: Received letter from FAA saying AA had requested flight records
29 Jan 15: Received job offer via phone call from Chief Pilot late afternoon......2 weeks exactly after interview
Contrary to what I'd read before on here, I never received an electronic background investigation email/request. I updated my app about 1-2 times per month.
Hope this helps some and best of luck to all!
