Well that doesn't inspire confidence. I got the DOB/SSN request 2 days after the video interview and it's been 2 weeks, crickets. I did hear that they cancelled a couple interview dates in Nov and approx 20 L-AW came back which reduced the interview requirements for Oct/Nov. There's nothing squirrelly in my background/record so hopefully I'll hear something soon.

You only get Per Diem on the days you work. If you fly home on weekends during training to don't get per diem. If you stay over the weekends don't quote me but I don't think you get it either. I flew home every weekend.

Hey guys - Wondering if anyone recently interviewed/hired has any insight they'd like to share.
1) Is AA big on the jet PIC thing?
2) Are they putting a lot of weight on the college GPA?
3) As always, the airlines certainly prefer military (eps. DAL). What's the breakdown of mil/civilian hired?
4) How long did it take to hear anything after you applied?
5) Are internal Recs helping?
Really appreciate the help.

I don't think you'll get a totally accurate answer on this unless you talk to somebody on the hiring board. More PIC is better, jet PIC is probably better than turboprop PIC, I don't think college GPA is a huge deal, but maybe more of a tie-breaker for somebody who's close.
If you go back this thread you'll see stats, but the hiring favors military. In my interview class of about 20 last year, all but two or three were current or former military. The class behind me was about the same.
This is picking up now that hiring is picking up. Last year I started to lose hope after seven months with no response, but found out that a lot of folks in my interview group waited more than a year before they were called. Now that hiring his picked up, I have two buds who were called for a video interview within a month or two of submitting their applications.
These aren't reviewed until you interview. Word is they're basically used as a tie-breaker.

Any idea what last class breakdown was for equipment and base?
I am thinking 737 is the fastest way to ORD. Who knows with the SLI ...
Recent video invitee here and VERY excited!
