Yea for sure. Not easy, but definitely do-able if you do more to check boxes etc...or just get hired somewhere else and go, which is kind of a bummer, but if you only want AA that is the path I suppose.

Question on LAX base - still junior for new hires? From what I have been reading that hasn't changed. What the frequency of NB redeyes from there? I am applying and will have a rather difficult commute but if reserve is short then may be worth it. West Coaster in a smallish town with only regional flights.

Sure wish I knew the secret sauce. Have had an app into AA for 3+ years. Regional captain with about 20 135 and 121 check events without a failure. Two internal LORs from 30+ year guys there. All I'm hearing is crickets while I watch hundreds getting CJOs. Apps have been reviewed and everything looks good. Sitting around waiting and not knowing if or when it'll ever happen. Its a tough game. Guess I posted this for all the other people in the same boat thinking the same thing.

Yeah all those class pictures of 40-60 people with 2-3 females? Have I even seen a person of color lately? The guys you can apparently tell are military or legacy just by a picture? The women and mil guys sure are taking up all the spots fairly earned by the basic pilot who has spent his career doing nothing to improve or showcase himself and just punched a clock every day then wonders why the recruiters don't notice him.
I said WO non-flow hires. And I can back that up with raw data. You know, like a list of every one of them. 80% are female, minority, military or family. Fact.
