I think you guys are all over thinking it. Does it help? Probably not, does it hurt? Probably not.
I'm old school, I've written a cover letter for every job I've ever applied to. I also refuse to use a resume longer than 1 page. With the airlines, I didn't submit the letter with my app, but had a custom letter for every airline at the job fairs I attended. I also printed one up to turn in with the rest of my stuff at US Airways. It was not required. The guy I gave it to, read it, and it sparked a conversation for what that's worth. I'm not familiar with AA's hiring though.

Any resume longer than 1 page has always been thrown right in the trash at every place I have been.
Cover letter may be OK. Multiple page resume is definitely not.

Random - last class breakdown I saw had 20 non flows. 16 prior military, four civilian. The civilian breakdown was two from other 121 operators(one regional, one cargo/charter), one Netjets, and one from a small 135 charter operator.

Envoys contractual flow throughs will slow down in terms of % over the long term as wickets are met, and PDTs will increase as manning increases. PSAs may stay the Same for a while or uptick slightly.
Expect to see many flow throughs in AA classes for a while. However Pure civilians do get hired. I have a buddy who is a pure civilian who made it recently. Less than 6 years at a regional, Strong career progression (FO-CA-LCA) and community involvement so it's possible as long as you can get your resume to stand out from the crowd in a positive way.
