Did you select that you have FlightKeys experience? Right now not having FlightKeys experience is kind of a disqualifier.

Right now it's all about FlightKeys experience.

But it says dispatch and/or flight keys experience so the no flight keys itself shouldn’t be the disqualifier no? Because I don’t have flight keys and I didn’t get rejected.

An AA dispatch trainer just told me that they are pretty much only looking for FlightKeys experience and will likely make it an Envoy heavy new hire group since Envoy are the experts in FlightKeys. So take that for what you will. Good luck!!

There was also a very small class that started around August of all externals, but it was only 6. Not sure where exactly they all came from. I had heard 3 from Spirit, maybe an Avelo or Mesa, Skywest and JetBlue? Not sure. Just that they had a tiny external class as well that they had pulled from a pool.

They're already sending out updates. I just got the notice mine is moving on the hiring manager again

Those kind of numbers do make me wonder how many Envoy has left at the moment with the experience/education requirements and any appreciable amount of time there to get the flight keys experience if AA already took 18 this year.

The class that was hired for AA (4 classes back to be specific staring Sept. 2024) was 10 dispatchers - all Envoy people. There was a variety of experience among them. AA doesn't enforce the experience thing except at the time of application. AA's system that scans applications is programmed to auto decline applications that say that they don't have the required experience. There are people that get hired after a brief stop over at Envoy because they are related to an AA dispatcher. There was someone a few classes back that was hired 1 week or 2 out of ground school but their dad was an AA dispatcher. So... your experience isn't necessarily a deal breaker. Everyone's journey to the big show is different.
Envoy, Aloha Air Cargo (Honolulu), Northern Air Cargo (Anchorage). I'm aware of a few others looking at using it but those are the 3 I know for sure that currently use it in addition to AA Mainline and Southwest. It's also used quite a bit in the Europe market as I understand. FK is based out of Vienna.
Jetblue uses it as well. Delta, Alaska, and FedEx are next up on the list for US carriers I believe.
That's what I've heard as well and possibly NetJets on the 135 side of things.

Huh.. Well darn. The Austrians are taking over!
Who knew the Austrians could take over the US if they’d just stuck to making art pieces that are mediocre products.
