I thought with two classes a month I would be called by October for sure but who knows. Since Jan i have made the prediction three times that I'd be in training and all three times I was wrong. Oh well there are worse things, at least I have a CJO with options.
In the end they are both great and respectable companies. A career with either will be very good and I'm very fortunate to have that opportunity.

Talked to a guy today who interviewed at AA on Oct 2, 2014. Still no class date and has not heard a word from the company in months. Luckily for him, he's been hired and a line holder on the 75 for Delta for the entire summer. I can only imagine how many that were once in the AA pool have left to go elsewhere. I speculate several at this point can't wait to get the call for an American class date just to tell them they've been working somewhere else for going on a year. That's good news for me as I don't have any job offers from anyone else, so I'll happily take their class dates!

This wait is crazy. I have another interview in Nov now. Maybe I'll have two options then. Or being class at AA and decide from there to leave or not. I'm sure many others will jump after swimming in the pool for so long.

The message I get is that such a company doesn't really have its act together.

That's easy for you to say, you didn't have to be selected to go through the process.

Answer : Absolutely nothing.
The fact is that in corporate America, quality companies known for being excellent employers would NEVER treat prospective employees in such a way and that fact has nothing to do with me or where I came from.

It reflects more on the hiring dept. I was hired on LUS side and I remember waiting 10 weeks to get a yes call! I wasn't even impressed with indoc in PHX but every experience I have had with the company AFTER Indoc has been positive from scheduling to sim training to dealing with the CPs. To those waiting to hear - hang in there...its a great place to work.

Yes, on many individual levels, the "new" AA is as it has been positive, but on a senior leadership level we are in trouble. Sure, it can take weeks for all necessary info to be compiled and evaluated, but leaving people in the lurch like that for months doesn't occur at properly run corporations. It just doesn't. The culture hasn't changed since the senior management changed, they've just doubled down on the past and this is simply yet another example of that.
