What're some things that make one competitive? Obviously you need the hours...then they look at what? Degree? No failures? Recommendations? What sort of extra curriculars make someone stand out?

There were two classes of 42 in November. Envoy sent 22 in the first class, and the rest outlined above in class 2.

Line Check Airman, well networked and community/ special interest group involvement has been the trend amongst the purely civilian pilots I’ve seen as OTS hires at AA in the last year.

Just curious why an ex-Eagle Allegiant pilot cares so much about the flow?

Stockholm syndrome?

I know a Spirit pilot who regrets leaving PDT now that they’d be flowing to AA shortly had they stayed in place instead of switching to another regional and then going to Spirit.

Because he got fired from Eagle and now he has to try make himself feel better and discredit the flow as much as he can in a sad attempt to convince himself that the flow would not have gotten him to a legacy quicker than he'll be able to without it.
