This is 2014 and not FedEx.

 

I always thought an ATP was standard.

 

I can always hope. In the mean time, I am trying to schedule an ATP class, but I wanted to get my application in as soon as I met the minimum requirements.

 

Fair question about the ATP, but I find it hard to believe that anyone without the full unrestricted ATP is getting a call.

 

Still hoping.

 

Just gauging who was the last to get a video interview, and how long was it since you submitted your application.

 

Never saw a clear answer to a previous post regarding this question... hopefully someone can help. I uploaded my LOR's in the "attachments" section on my pilotcredentials profile. I'm just realizing that there was a separate tab where people can post their LOR's via the websight.

Does anyone know if this affects the chances of getting screened to interview?

 

Not sure. I had one retired AA CA write me a letter. I uploaded it and then he sent it in to the Pilot Recruitment folks. It appeared on the bottom of my profile a few days later. I would say that having that internal go through AA into PilotCredentials would be better than having a letter that you upload yourself that nobody is going to read. Bottom line is that nobody really knows except for HR and they aren't going to tell anyone.
The way that I have heard it explained at another airline that uses PC is that they state the requirements they want, PC spits them out, and only then they are reviewed by a human prior to being invited for an interview. If there are too many, they go back and make the requirements more stringent and crunch them again. If there are not enough, they lower the requirements and crunch again.
Of course, networking is king...military guys I know that have been hired have had multiple internal recs and many have gone to job fairs or met chief pilots. I would assume the same applies to 121 only guys.

 

The letter of recommendation has nothing to do with getting an interview. Like you said it's all computers. The letters are brought out at the review board. I interviewed with guys that had 15 letters and some with none. I would concentrate more on making my application as detailed and as clean as I could instead of trying to get letters.

 

Copy all... thanks! I'm sure by having an internal rec via the websight submission puts a certain point value to your app, or at least one would think. Most of my bros from the mil side went to UA and SWA. I don't have any contacts at AA - which happens to be high on my list of companies I would like to work for. However, I'll enthusiastically fly for anyone offering more than minimum wage!
