In this day and age all the airlines have to do is a meet and greet and request ones training record from the regionals to evaluate an applicant. Seems to me a wast of time. Delta does the same ridiculous thing. As for the other people applying ie... Corporate, flight instructors and military I can see the reason for this process after all it's about customer service , CRM and working as a crew in the airline environment and understanding the airline work ethics. There is a lot of airline experience that has built up at the regional level thanks to 911 and the age 65 rule.
I agree with you. However they've got to do something to narrow that pool down. They can't interview 10,000 applicants.

Default AA Interview Process

If this merger does go through AND the AA guys take over the hiring process I wonder if they will look over any/all of the new hires on probation just because they can?

Isn't Airways mgt basically taking over? That would be redundant to re-evaluate the guys you hired. Don't see that happening.

Jeez. Worry about something else. If you're already in by the time the hiring is combined, you're safe.

I would say you're fine, unless you walk into the office and these two guys are sitting there.

Yeah the people are going to be Airways, but I've heard the the way things are being done is "adopt and go" they are basically doing everything the AA way because it's easier to change the smaller airline than the larger.

If they do the newhire classes in dfw in feb like they are saying, I bet it's going to be the AA way.

Default AA Interview Process

When delta took over the flow from compass management went through the files of the newhires on probation there and ended up letting someone go. All I am pointing out is there is a big discrepancy between the hiring process right now.

If US Airways takes over the hiring, who is to say that they wouldn't do the same to American's new hires? US Airways has hired some very competitive pilots in the last year and everyone hired must pass the interview unlike the Eagle flow thrus at American.

Regardless, I highly doubt that will happen.

I think you are comparing apples and oranges. There is a big difference between someone lying about experience/background and being let go and random newhires being let go for a difference in hiring criterias.

I doubt they have the manpower to do even if they wanted to.
