You kept your AA employee number since the airways merger.

Numbers mean nothing.. seniority on the big list and getting to 3rd year pay on the big list is all that matters..

Training quality is generally very good. The failure rate is increasing but that is more a reflection of pilot recruitment attempting to hire people that aren’t likely to be able to leave soon after hitting the line. 1/4- 1/3 of new hires struggle and need additional simulator training or OE flights but very few are being terminated at the first sign of difficulty.

30ish days from interview to class in most cases.

Indoc to IOE varies but 3-4 months is pretty common.

What are some of the most common causes of failure during training that you know of? PDT cadet here trying to get prepared for when the time comes soon enough.

If you’re a cadet you won’t have a problem. The issue is with the pilot shortage many many 1500 VFR weekend flyers are second careering as an airline pilot. No instrument experience at all, and frankly have other things going on in life they deem more important than training because this is not the most important thing going on in their lives right now. Keep a good attitude you’ll do great! Welcome!
