Smoke a Lucky. Most folks I've talked to said two weeks from video interview completion to notification - mine took 15 days. If you did well on the video interview, you will receive an email asking you to go back into Pilot Credentials and enter your SSN so they can start the background investigation.

Also curious about how long it takes to get DCA base and how long reserve is?

Thanks in advance!
I've talked to people who said they got the "additional info" email hours after they took the video interview. I've also talked to others who received the same E-mail days, weeks, and even months later.

Don't lose hope if you haven't heard in a week or two.

Just at a glance, DCA reserve on the AA side is probably at least 5 years.
Wow, wasn't expecting that. With all the hiring going on/retirements, I thought it'd be a lot shorter than that! Thanks for the replies, guys.

Not losing hope, just curious. You know how it is--every day that passes, you start to question more and more of your answers. Still cautiously optimistic. Thanks for the reply.

There's a few out there that are predominantly AA. Most are in Crystal City.

That hasn't really started yet, this is the calm before the storm.

190 FO in PHL looks like it's just a couple months of reserve. Pay is the same first year as the AB. MIA, LGA, and LAX, 737 and A320 look like less than 2 years of reserve. MIA 320 is probably the shortest stay on reserve on the LAA side.

Yes, short call one month, Then long call one or two months then straight to secondary line. By 5 months you'll be a primary.

Pay is the same on probation.
Bid off coming off probation. In a perfect world they'll withhold you so you'd be an E190 line holder(primary?), cranking out hours at AB pay.
