It's too bad the US Airways people went away. If you liked the AA environment you would've died and gone to heaven under Airways. Every time the 682 scheduling calls I sigh now.

Is there decent gouge out there? Thanks in advance....
I concur with all the other posts concerning American. I received CJOs from DL, UA, and AA...AA being the most humane and enjoyable interview experience.

New timelines though. Video interview 8 months after Application submitted (they were not hiring yet), video interview submitted, 8 hrs later extra info, 8 hrs after that request for interview. was in interview 2.5 weeks later, CJO 6 days after that. They want good dudes, now!

I was told by an FO that does interviews, that the letters really don't come into play until after the interview (if at all). They only come into play, IF they want to see that an AA pilot has vouched for you. I'm paraphrasing for what it's worth.

Letters of rec aren't factored into getting you the interview. Like PRS said, they come into play afterwards, as in the day of your face to face. No idea how heavily they are weighed if at all.

Getting you the interview is heavily base on your score on the personality test.

Wow. Never knew that the personality test carried that much weight.
