The current leading rumor is still Chicago.
With the additional 700's from Envoy and Envoy closing the NY base, the other obvious choice would be NY. I think more bases will certainly increase recruiting efforts. CLT is an easy commute from many places, but having more bases will make hiring people that want to commute easier.

Some new info that I learned is that after logging 100 hours on the line you can apply to become a ground instructor, which pays much more. You can also become a sim instuctor with them which pays 1st year Captain pay as an FO. They said they were short on these and having any of these things on the resume matters way more than the amount of hours in your belt when applying @ mainline.
The captain said 5-6 years to "flow" to American and that our class as of today could still expect an 18 month upgrade from DOH.
The Captain was very welcoming and friendly and kept asking us if we had any more questions - she said she has been with the company for 3 years and you could genuenly tell she loved being there.
What a great group of people, great experience...super stoked to be onboard.

Vacation passes can only be used for you, your parents and your wife/registered guest. Thinking about trying to trick the system? Maybe you should think again, unless you want your travel benefits revoked. By the way, travel passes and buddy passes don't work on American.

I look on Craigslist occasionally for good Aviation stuff. I find good Eastern and old US Airways stuff every once in awhile. I also see people selling buddy passes and their "registered companion" quite often. Some people sell their registered companion for a few thousand dollars every year.
I wish I could turn them in for this crap.
