I was going to say poor Piedmont got left out. They really are the red-headed step children of AA (for some reason unknown to me). In fact, the only dx I personally know at AA had to leave Piedmont to go to Endeavor and then was hired on at AA a little while later. I don’t understand why they're another wholly owned but get overlooked so much.
PDT is definitely the red headed stepchild, but there are 2 that went directly from PDT to AA and one other that was hired by US before the merger.I was going to say poor Piedmont got left out.

The flow agreement for the pilots is mostly about keeping staffing stable at the regionals due to the pilot shortage, not so much about finding candidates for mainline. Unless there is a shortage of dispatchers at the regional level, it is unlikely mainline management would concede their ability to pick and choose for a flow.
It’s because their hiring manager or Dispatcher Director is a doucher who black balls Piedmont applicantsI was going to say poor Piedmont got left out.

The dispatch director actually has nothing to do with the hiring process at all. What I have actually heard is people above them have given veto power to the Piedmont Dispatch Manager because Salisbury Maryland is not really a place where people would want to go and dispatch, so replacing dispatchers is harder there which of course affects the flight schedule so to keep talent in place they have this arrangement. At least this is what people have told me, and I have no way to confirm this of course.
Yes airlines sometimes hire externals vs internals, and then sometimes hire internals and exclude externals. But as far as hiring from the streets, I am a bit skeptical AA does that.
Can’t pass the test?
What about those of us who have made it with no parents? Not asking for a friend.
UMAD Mesa? Also Autosave....nice response, I love it, haha! Enjoy the journey fellow colleagues!
AA hired some dispatchers kid who worked at home depot. It was the first and only job they ever had and they hired him. I know this for a fact.
There's plenty of people up there that got hired that didn't pass the test. Miranda???? GK hires who he wants (like the entire Bodrie family line) and claims it's the test when no one can even see the grades.
So you claim plenty of people got hired that didn't pass the test, and even call people out by name, then admit "no one can even see the grades," which means you're talking straight out of your APU exhaust pipe.
Well, do you know what you scored on the AA test?
