Probably both. Believe it or not, Spirit has higher standards for hiring than AA (you would be surprised what they let people flow over with on their record).

Your are absolutely right! If you are a flow through you don’t have to have an interview at American. What does that tell you about the majority of the pilots they “hire” at AA. Let that soak in.

I know someone at Piedmont that has a couple of violations that will probably flow in the next few years. That shouldn’t matter I guesss...because once he walks through those doors he will be among “the best trained pilots in the world” (eye roll)

Well hyperbole from Halon aside, American is now below Spirit. A passenger is now more satisfied with a Spirit trip vs an American trip....i'll wait while that sinks in.

A Legacy carrier at the bottom like that, is embarrassing; so while it is funny to watch some Spirit pilots joke about ZED fares on AA, etc, the fact remains, American is a trash product at the moment.

Spirit's performance numbers are at the top; so the fact Spirit is beating AA even with the scores so highly weighted on the bias those have against hating the "bare fare charge for everything" model, that says even more about AA being at the bottom.

Come on bro, you have free water and soft drinks, free carry on bags and STILL below Spirit in satisfaction. United drags passengers off planes and even they scored higher...haha

Oh gawwwwwd.... Seeing that sign made me cringe and laugh every time I walked beneath it.

And I think it said ‘best trained crews’. Apparently the FA’s had a hullabaloo and felt left out. Even though their academy was across the street....

AA is obviously a better place to work, let us have our minuscule win, please.... Even though our new CEO isn’t a multiple DUI schmuck who couldn’t get hired as a ramper due to said DUIs....

Sorry, had to vent.
