Website says AA interviews limited to first 200.
Word to wise - if anyone's dress code says 'business casual' it means old fashioned, and not new wave, business casual. Five day beard, that looks cool at Google HDQ, or flip flops, or baggy/saggy 'pull your pants up' look might not be your best plan(true story).
Good luck.

I remember that from jumpseating on US way back when. Seriously, though, we get a "Wands Up" and it's acknowledged by both pilots. It's a "trigger" for the After Start Flow.
Engine starts are easy on the Bus. Just flip the Master Switch on.
Again, as someone mentioned, it's an Airbus-ism. Since the sidesticks are independent, both sides must be checked. Since the Captain is taxiing and is not heads down, the FO calls out what the flight controls are doing and they should be corresponding to what the sidestick is doing.
But yeah, we've simplified the Bus. I've seen other carriers and they're talking constantly, calling out every single flight mode change.

Exactly what I'm wondering. I've read the 76 training is a bit longer and a bit tougher to keep up with the differences b/w the variety of models, but it's gotta be the trips primarily, I'd think. Would be really interested to hear aa73's and 7576FO's take, if we have the choice to make.
