Really.. Is that how you think this works? Again I'm speechless. How could you possibly be in this business for 32+ years and not know how the airline business works? This kids is the problem with AA. This pilot group is full of senior pilots who have been insulated from reality and have brand envy stuck up their ass3s sideways for so long they are clueless. I fly with these guys all the time..

When "your airline is making humongous profits, you GET things". Really? Name one time in the history of the business that has been true without a union having to conduct a negative media campaign after an extensive negotiating process. If that is true why didn't we "GET things"? Answer, because that's not reality in the airline business and never has been. That's not reality in most businesses. You clearly do not understand how business works, or in our case how DP works. You'll get nothing for free. We had to sell the only things that were worth the paper they were written on in the green book just to get industry standard pay rates. And, there were only a few. None of which would affect you. The only thing close would be the midnight bounces in the sim that your copilots will have to do. I'm sure you take the landings to maintain currency

To be fair Parker did give us profit sharing...

Also, I have no intent to scare anyone off. I honestly could care less. If someone is coming from a regional or LCC with no other offers than by all means it's a good jump. For Military guys/gals and people with other Legacy offers, I would not come here unless you live in a fortress hub and really hate commuting. It will get better at AA, I honestly believe that. It's just going to be a long time. As a potential new hire with no seniority, I say it's not worth the wait. Go somewhere with a unified solid pilot group. That's a subjective thing but I can tell you it isn't AA

Any new gouge for the internet interview? A friend I recommended just got an invite. Anything I can pass along is appreciated. Thanks.

It was not out of the goodness of his heart.

BUT it was out of the goodness of APA's heart that they accepted profit sharing!

Not really gouge, per se, just common sense. Practice and don't have any distractions when you record your answers. Keep it cogent, calm and smooth. Two minutes per question is a good max.

Recently completed the interview...err, recruiting, process. Having interviewed at Delta, SWA and AA I have to say that AA is the best interview experience hands down. In addition to air travel (obviously) they also paid for the hotel. They did all the paperwork that the others wanted me to bring and the interview itself was in a museum sitting next to a phucking DC-3!

Our procedures haven't changed since the DC-3 either!!


Sorry, I had to

Congrats on all the interviews and choose wisely. To me where you want to live is 51% of your decision.

Exactly. If you live in Dallas southwest is a no-brainer.
