Not sure there are many people to ask these questions at this point, but expect 3+ years of reserve from the bottom of the list with absolutely no movement.

I can’t talk too much about training, but as a forever-junior CA, expect incredibly minimal QOL. You’re guaranteed 11 days off, so expect that. Our grids are so red, if I were a DEC, I wouldn’t expect to go a single day without being used for something. You can do airport standby (hot) 8 times a month, no more than three days in a row. Expect that too, it’ll be (up to) 8 hours enjoying the sights of an airport.
You’ll get PIC time, but I’d be absolutely sure that it’s all you need to get an interview and get out, because for most, it’s an unsustainable pain.

you can very easily get 12 off if you’re smart with how you bid.

There are mainline airplanes flying to cities that they havent been to in years (if ever) and flying routes that were regional routes just a few months ago. AA is gearing up for the collapse of the regionals.

Not even close. AA has said that we are at least 40-50 mainline airplanes short of what we could fill right now, and that is just on the mainline side. Most international destinations that AA flies to are full and demand is high. AA really never invested heavily into the asian markets, and that is proving to be a wise decision right now.
Latin and South America are huge right now. Some countries are getting 12+ flights per day and all are filling. Europe looks very good for the summer.
The biggest constraint for this summer will be regional feed. There are plenty of passengers, just not enough regional pilots or mainline aircraft.
