Our flow to American has officially increased. We will be sending 6 pilots to AA starting with the September new hire class there.
Our flow will continue to increase with each 62 captains that are added to the seniority list.
225 pilots have been awarded upgrade to Captain so far this year.
This is a "no interview" flow. Pilots are selected in seniority order and are given class dates at AA.

I am sure it does not take long to get an idea of the type of food offered near your common gates. Is there enough ground time to find a decent snack to bring back to the aircraft?
Thanks for the information.

Besides that, there's time to get off and get something quick. You MAKE the time. You're good to nobody if you're hungry and on poor diet.

I generally pack 2 dinners and sandwiches for everyday plus some snacks or yogurt. Allows me to go out to eat once on a trip and save a ton of money.

Like others have mentioned, I bring a cooler with about two meals worth and healthy snacks. I usually save my cooler food for times when it's not convenient to go get something. That being said, airport food is not that bad nor expensive. You just have to be willing to not stop at the first place that you see. Or better yet, having a good idea of what restaurants are in the hub and even outstations helps for planning on what and when to eat. I don't eat meat or dairy and I make it work just fine. I just end up eating a lot of the same thing many times.

Vacation
From what I understand, you get 1 week vacation after a year. When do you start getting 2 weeks?
What is the average amount of time you get off with your week and using SAP? Is it possible to have 3 weeks off at once?

If all things held constant, maybe. What would you theorize the fleet re-evaluation would do to those numbers? I don't disagree with what you suggest, I just know that the current flow is at 9 years and 10 months.
