This deal won't be changed, but there are rumors of some sort of similar program that would continue the pref hiring at AA for Eagle newhires beyond Oct. Apparently it has done wonders for our application pile and they want that to continue.
FWIW, it will take (many) years before anyone hired now would transfer to AA. You're much more likely to simply benefit from and enjoy the attrition off the top before going to another carrier via traditional methods.

On the scope front, the past decade cost nearly 3,000 AA pilots their jobs lost to furloughs at the same time AA’s regional lift partners went through an explosion of pilot hiring. The notion that we should now entertain an expansion of that job loss is antithetical to the experience of every AA line pilot since 2003. Make no mistake—future growth at AA, including any capacity increase at the feeder level, will be flown by the pilots on our seniority list—the pilots this BOD represents.
This is a little paragraph from the latest APA & AA management sit down. I'd like to hear what people have to say????

Jet Standards Course at ATP
Has anyone completed the Jet Standards course at ATP yet? Can you provide any info on what to expect and how to prepare for it? Also what is the pass / fail ratio of those taking the course. I interviewed Wednesday and received a pre-offer of employment - subject to passing the Jet Standards class.

In a nutshell, if you can't pass this class, you shouldn't even be flying a cessna.
