Glad to see these new interviews. Hopefully this means more movement for those in the pool and CJO's for those still waiting to hear. I wonder how many will still take the job...

I know of two I interviewed with in March have started with other airlines. Who knows if they will come to AA if offered the job but I don't think so.

I just got an email for a video interview yesterday and am looking for more info. So as to not be “that guy” who shows up asking questions that have already been answered, I’ve gone through this entire thread and I think I have my answers, but looking for updates/clarifications.
There were only two posts I could find that listed questions asked in the video interview. Post 66:
And post 661
My questions:
- Does anybody have current/different questions they recall?
- It sounds like the interview is automated (not a live person on the other end) where you get about thirty seconds to compose your thoughts after each question is asked, then three minutes to answer. Concur?
- Recommended attire? My going in plan would be to dress the same as a FTF interview (suit and tie).
- Unrelated to the interview, I have a bud who flies with AA that told me internal recs aren’t necessary until you get the interview. Based on what I’m reading here, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Confirm?

My stats:
TT: 4200+ (All Mil, Turbine, Multi Engine)
IP: 2500
PIC: 1100 (not including instructor)
Safety, IP, EP, FCF, CFII, MEI, Masters
2 Internals
App has been in since May.

Thanks in advance

Clint,
Congrats. To answer your questions I believe the questions are the same.

It is an automated interview so practice infront of a mirror sitting down with a timer and answering the questions first. I would practice at least two to three times. Ensure your wifi is good, turn off all phones in the house, send everyone including your pets away and make sure that the background behind you is good/professional. No Budweiser signs etc. Someone actually told me if I had a picture of an aircraft I flew to hang it on the wall and sit infront of it. I thought it was a good idea so I did just that.

Definitely wear suit and tie for the interview, pants optional. Ha Just don't stand up while interviewing. It will go quick so have your thoughts organized and be ready to go. I actually posted note cards next to the compute in case I froze or got stumped. It is fairly easy though.

I don't know if my internal rec's ever helped me. I am military as well with similar qual's but AA never once mentioned my LOR's.

Just be yourself but definitely practice before you do it.

Congrats again and cheers.

Agree with everything said. I took it one step further and practiced on my computer's webcam (movie maker software) so it would look like the real deal and I could practice making "eye contact" with my audience even though my face was on the screen in front of me.

I've also heard the same about internal recs. Apparently, they only come into play during the decision making process to determine if you are hired or not.

Good luck!

1. Practice like you fight - wear the clothing you will wear, use the lighting you will use, the camera, the microphone, etc, etc.

2. It's your BEST chance of getting hired! Read that again - it's your best chance of getting hired. Don't take it for granted.

3. Have someone ASK you questions. Not just the questions you've prepped for. Don't just practice the latest gauge. What if you're the first guy with the new question bank? Rut ruh. By practicing different, and perhaps unexpected questions, you'll be better prepared.

4. Be yourself. Trying to
be someone else often comes across as fake. No one is perfect so don't try or pretend to be perfect.

6. When you're done answering a question you can hit the pause/end/next button. Or you can look at the camera and feel silly. And you don't have to use all the time. If you've got a good answer hit pause/end/next and move on.

Q What are future pilot hiring projections?
A Jim Thomas, MD,Flight Training & Standards

Our plan is to hire approximately 700 pilots next year and hope to continue hiring at least the same number for several years. This hiring is a result of many factors, including the addition of our new A350 fleet, our planned international growth, and the fact that a lot of our pilots are approaching the FAA’s mandatory pilot retirement age of 65. About half of our new hire pilots come to us via flow-through agreements with our wholly owned regional carriers. The remainder consists of pilots who return to American as a result of cancelling their deferral from furlough and those who come from the large pool of qualified applicants.
