I'm well aware of this update, but what's being said there and what's happening in the real operational world are two different things. Everything is fluid in the current situation. Until a final amended CPA is announced cutting RJET flying, that update holds no water. Look at the AA schedules for November, you'll find the 170's there. Look at the extension of leases on the 170's filed just this week. Look at Envoys ORD 175 base being shutdown before it ever existed. I'd say none of these events give that update any credence.

Pdt, awac, rjet, psa, envoy, what ever a@@bag airline, no one can cover the lift for American that is required at current staffing levels and mediocre pay.. Further making low level scum pilots like us harder to find is the massive hiring jblue, frontier and spirit have, with emphasis on the last two. Unfortunately many awac FO's are coming our way along with many... Many... Many FO's from rjet and express jet. Mostly 1 or 2 year FO's coming here to be a captain and not wait for the upgrade.
Frontier and Spirit may be throwing a wrench in it as they offer qualified FOs direct entry without TPIC. If Frontier opens a PHL base as they're rumoring staffing issues will become more difficult as competition for pilots increases.
It wouldn't surprise me if there's another bump in the bonus here soon as the ULCCs pull potential lateral moves away from the WOs.

I had emailed mine in on request of the recruiter before I went to interview. Still took one with me, but all they wanted to see was my logbooks. Once they realized I was ATP, they stopped looking at those to.

Perhaps this was part of AAGs master plan... Staff the WOs with qualified pilots from stagnant regionals to feed the stream of pilots via the flow...

Every time that I have ever interviewed for a job, I brought a few resumes in a folder. When I went in for the interview, I would shake each persons hand, and then give each person interviewing me a copy of my resume.
You control your resume, and what is on it. It should be the best stuff about you. If you hand them your resume, it is likely what they are going to look at when they interview you.

If you want to be a professional pilot, interview as a professional pilot. If you wear a pilot uniform and are communiting in after coming of a trip, your pilot uniform is fine, just make sure it is fresh. US airways used to make people wear their uniform. When they arrived for the interview you were asked to leave if you were a mess.
