Can someone in the Schoolhouse or someone that is friends with someone in hiring or in the Schoolhouse just ask what is going on? What is the plan?
This is not top secret, like the nuclear launch codes.
I realize it is too simple, but it would sure cut the speculation.
At the Jan rate, they are on track for the 920 plan. At the Feb rate, they are on track for less than last year’s 645 actual.

The CLT and PHX training centers were humming back a few years ago, the Dallas one just seemed really quiet for all this supposed hiring.

I dunno I was in Mecca for over a month doing transition training and it seemed pretty dead to me and that was during the regular working non-holiday days. Some sims were going but a lot were motionless with the gates down.

Being in the top 5 youngest people employed at AA, this is pretty insulting. Are you saying I’m not safe or as safe as the next guy or gal? Some of the highest time, most “qualified” people I’ve flown with at the regionals are the ones that followed none of the SOP’s. They’re the only ones I’ve ever had to take the controls from, and they’re the ones that had the least joy for their profession. By no means am I saying I’m better then them or that I know more then them. But it sounds like your saying I’m less deserving. I’ve busted my @$$ and was “hooked up” with nothing. If your a Captain, how much do you truly value your less experienced FO’s opinion?

I was hoping to push my R18 into my grace month since I'd heard training was backed up. No luck. (A320 )

Actually, I was pretty clear. I said “Safest and most reliable”. I am not advocating selecting the oldest highest time guy, but come on! A 24 yo barely has there ATPwet. There are better and more qualified applicants available to invite to interview for this coveted position. Good for you for making it in your 20’s. Congratulations on being “hooked-up”
You're coming across as jealous.

Are you by chance at Envoy, with a no interview flow to AA? Is that fair to other, more qualified guys off the street being squeezed out by the corporation’s need for pilots at its regionals and its desire to continue military hiring?
My cousin had over a decades experience fling Gulfstreams around the world. Not a peep from AA, despite my attempts to help him. He seems to be doing just fine at FedEx.
