I started out on the 80, but was able to hold 73I at DFW about 8 months later. I'm also one of the bottom guys. Like Slice mentioned, you get a seat in a base if you can hold it and if there is a vacancy. So, in reality, there is no true time frame IMO.

Congratulations on getting the video interview!
After I did the video interview back in January it was approximately 2 weeks before I received the "request for more information" email. When you get that a new spot is opened in the application for your DOB and SSN. If you don't get that email I understand you get a TBNT email around the same timeframe. I received the request for more info email in late January, but have not heard anything about a F2F yet.

If you get a video invite, remember, the job is yours to lose. Make sure you prepare because the hardest part of getting the job is getting the interview. If you prep and have yourself squared away, it's all down hill.

And PAY for good prep.
I would go with a service which has as much intel as possible on the airline you are shooting for.
There is a "we prepare you for everyone" service. I think that is utter BS. Airlines all want to see you have prepared well-and part of that is reading all the gouge you can find. Airline interviews are never "just go in and be yourself" type situations. They simply aren't. Airlines all have their pet questions, scenarios, and situations.
You will learn how to handle "TMAAT you had a disagreement with a superior" and "tell me about the worst person you ever worked with" questions without looking bad.
And find out everything you can about that particular airline's process. There are also a couple of websites with gouge databanks. I like those as well.
Good luck! (And avoid Mr "I prepare you for everyone the same." That guy is an idiot.)

Once you get the request for more info email you essentially have the job. Now they want to bring you to Dallas to meet you face to face. The great majority of guys invited to interview get the job. The hard part is getting to that point. I'd recommend doing an interview prep. It helps reduce the nerves on the big day. Good luck.

So just to be clear there is no seat lock for new hires at AA?
