Has American started making calls for interviews?

I've been away from the 121 side of flying for almost a year now. Hard to keep my ear to the ground with rumors.

If I'm not mistaken, they've already hired a couple hundred and are running classes once or twice a month now.
 
Yeah I think there has been about 200 hired this year. Mostly military or Eagle Flows from what ive heard. Im sure there are some exceptions to that. I know for sure USAir is interviewing, and that's current as of today.
 
AA is supposed to hire 600 this year and 300 additional on the Airways side. Supposedly starting in June indoc for both will be in DFW and people hired will be able to bid all available bases in both (or all three...) systems.

I'm also hearing the AA classes are about 50% Eagle and 50% military. Hopefully the US side takes over the hiring otherwise there won't be a regional guy in the new hire classes from now till the Eagle flows are done in a couple years...

Seems like a place a huge emphasis on military flying time. I wonder how one would fare with 121 RJ flight time and enlisted military experience?

If they call I'll let you know how that rolls. Granted, I was in an operational AFSC versus pushing some paper around, for what it's worth.
 
AA apparently places big emphasis on recs. Two people I know hired there with no tpic had 3+ rec letters.
 
I'm an AA newhire. Started class in March.

As stated above yep.. 2 classes a month 50 total. Half of those are eagle flows. Rest is a variety mainly mil backgrounds , but also other civilian guys as well. Makes for a good hiring mix overall.

Recs are highly regarded but don't come into play until after receiving the video interview.

They need bodies so hiring shouldn't stop.

Not true.. We had three in my class from regional (non eagle) backgrounds. Most classes have regional guys. Yes there is more mil in the makeup of the " off the street" new hires but we were told this is done intentionally to balance with the flows who are mainly civilian. They are doing a good job of getting a variety of backgrounds.

I was talking to a CLT all nighter crew asking how long it took to hold the, on the bus. Apparently a looooooong time.

Yeah. I am having second thoughts about moving down there. Everything is just so senior. Way better QOL up north. Wonder what the plan is, long term, for the int'l stuff out of PHL on the 330's. I would think moving everything to JFK makes sense, long term, and I'm definitely not moving up there..
