AA Dispatcher June 2023

[Nearest Alternate]

ENY holding more qualified employees back is not something that just started happening. Been happening for a few years.

Agree 100% with above statement. All they care about is themselves and the union is too whipped to do anything about it.

Some don't have the ability to go to a different major. They have family or ties to DFW so it is either AA or SW.

I believe it's laziness on the part of management. Why train new people when you can just let go some fresh new hires, and replace them with another batch in 3 months.

AA also did away with the old hiring practices so that could be a factor as well.

I left for B6 to gain dispatch experience, hoping that my 8 years of IOC AA operational experience would help me get back…. NOPE lol. Not even recommendations helped. Shows you how flawed the AA hiring process is

possible AA was not trying to poach from B6 due to flightkeys?

Having not heard anyone who has made it to either class, my best guess is they closed their eyes and threw darts at a list of names.

AA hiring process has been kinda messy at least the last few years, but this year was just an absolute • show.

The class of 10 that started this past Monday all came fron Envoy. The November class is made up of 2 Envoy, 7 internal and 7 external from what we are being told. I do know someone who is external that is in the pool.

Unless candidates that were selected weren’t made aware, I don’t see how the hiring process is a mess.

I have noticed less and less information being shared on this forum.

People at AA should report back how much faster these new trainees comp out. See if their new program is working as intended. New classroom timeline, less trainees, matching trainees for OJT.

I'm ready

Why would you leave in hopes to come back to AA? Much better airlines out there!

Says the guy with the profile Mesa777?

Does anyone know if AA is hiring in 2024?

Its too early to say but I do know the Bobs are making junior dispatchers a little bit nervous about a potential furlough next year.

 

[ScarletnCreamDX]

What makes you say that? Stuff starting to heat up out there?

that's just AA's modus operandi

 

[Bobber]

Furloughs so they can get the desk real estate for FKeys training. It's perfect

(Please don't tell McKinsey this)
