Great thank you for the info. I'll have to sign up and check them out on Linkedin. 400 PIC on the A-320 and 900 hours PIC on the Dash-8-400 and the rest single engine stuff.

Thanks again!

6500 TT, 1300 TPIC, two type ratings. All Canadian '121'? Captain on two different airline types? That ** IS ** what they're looking for. August 2022 the 1000 hrs TPIC candidates was 1/3 of the total pilots they wanted to hire (741 and hiring around 2000 annually in the upcoming months. How much FO time on the Dash 8 and/or A320? Any other turbine experience? Or other MEL? MEL PIC?

Get to a job fair, 'meet the chiefs', or ANYWHERE the recruiters are. WAI is in Orlando March 21-23. If you can't get to talk with the AA recruiters by then GET TO WAI! Shoot, even if you talk with the recruiters befoe WAI ** I'D GO AGAIN ** if you don't have a CJO.

Your name profile says A320 FO. You say you have 400 hrs A320 PIC. Are you a Captain? They don't count FO flying as PIC. PIC means you are the boss. Putting down 'PIC' when you're the FO is a major foul. Just trying to clarify.

Yeah I created this profile last year but have not updated it I guess. Here's my full background..

Currently 320 Captain at Air Canada

Moved to DFW a couple years ago for a girl and been commuting to YYZ ever since while we figured out where we wanted to settle long term. We like Dallas and now I'm trying to work closer to home.

I met with an AA recruiter and asked the same question. You have time to prep but know that your app is not complete until the assesment is done. Recruiter sent me this link to get familar with the test content. https://assessment.aon.com/en-us/pre...our-assessment

And once you do have an app on file, it really need to update every couple of weeks. The application site looks at how often you update and when the last update was. If it has been more than a few months, it looks like you aren't interested in the job anymore and it is completely skipped over. Even small changes every few weeks are fine.

I have exactly the same problem as you; I don't know what to do because I applied 8 weeks ago and I haven't heard anything yet. I sent an email to [email protected] but they never answered my email. I also have a lot experience on the A320, currently working for one of the major airlines of Europe. Same issue with the "Draft" button. I also have an American Airlines Pilot referring me and I'm an American citizen as well, I'm a little confused. I see some people are getting an email after they've applied, yet not in my case.
Let's have patience and be optimistic, I'm hopeful they will email back me soon.

Application live with AA and completed PST no interview call? Resume is 25 years of Navy flying TACAIR jets w/3700 PIC, but only 6 hours in last year due to staff and comand tours. Wondering if recency is keeping me from geting an interview call. Thoughts or recomendations welcome. I do plan on atending WAIC in March. Thanks.

I don’t think recency is holding you back; when I interviewed at AA we had a USAF guy like you with very little if not zero in the past 12-24 months or so. I would say be patient; I personally never did any conferences because that’s not really my thing, but I know plenty who have and it did speed things up and help them. Just my 2 cents, good luck.

I will disagree. There are hundreds of qualified pilots that are bypassed for hiring each year because of a small error or omission on their application. A mistyped date that mistakenly shows a large gap in the employment history, or even something as simple as an incorrectly checked box. It is amazing how many people check "no" to "are you legally authorized to work in the United States". Or select "no" to "do you have a valid US Passport". Those are automatic disqualifiers.

Do not be patient, and go to the conference like you suggested. When you meet with them, they will pull your app. If it is flagged as there being something wrong with it, you will get a chance to fix it. As the wave has passed and hiring is slowing down, now is not the time to be patient. There are now hundreds of pilots applying for jobs at the legacys that were not qualified a few months ago, but are now.

Patience is not a virtue, it will cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars.
