AA Hiring

[ADXnewbie]

I heard today there are some externals taking the test and interviewing next week. Honestly, I already feel like I have won the lottery just by getting a chance to test and interview. Good luck to everyone, and don't forget, the last thing we could lose is hope.

American hasnt separated internal/external interviews in the past. But I'll concede that everyone who doesn't work for AA knows more then those who do as to the hiring practices.

Baseless outsider speculation here, but I sort of wonder if they're testing mostly internals to see how they do and then if necessary bringing in some more externals.

Regardless, if there are indeed a few externals going in next week I hope they knock it out of the park (not that I'm saying that I hope the internals don't do well as well).

So there are a good portion of internals. A handful of wholly owned (external), and another handful of external.

 

[poppy926]

LOL I am not with a wholly owned either

 

[flyaa_girl]

I got an interview and testing for a week and half from now.. (external wholly owned)

Keep doing what you doing, sooner or later it will come to you. If not it's not end of the world. There are thousands of people who are wishing to be in your shoes.

I got contacted for an interview at Skywest. External.

I have not heard anything. Still optimistic.

I was being sarcastic.

I know the folks doing the selections and interviews and they have a very difficult job ahead of them. I am glad that they are looking at internals as well and externals for this round of hiring and I think everyone will get a fair chance at getting in. I imagine the testing process will make their job a little easier.

I don't know if I would go that far, but thank you all the same.

Just a word of advice for those that are coming in for an interview or those that want to get an interview here. Treat every interaction with AA employees as part of the process to get the job. While dispatch aptitude is important, we dont want someone that is going to be difficult to get along with. Nobody wants to spend three or four decades with an •.

There have been people that have already ruined their chances by forgetting that.

You can teach someone how to dispatch, but you can't teach personality.

Interviews in progress. Plenty of people in suits around the office today.
