American Eagle Fleet Service Clerk

Aircraft Dispatcher
Hello,

I applied and have an interview with AE for the fleet service clerk. It says the training is 5 weeks long. Can someone go in detail why it would take 5 weeks to memorize city codes and how to use equipment. I have worked for numerous companies and an airline and am pretty sure how the training process goes. Thanks for the help.

Regards
 
American has a lot of HR stuff to go through, along with learning the different aircraft. But 5 weeks does seem a little long.

Yay for HR!.

Did you or do you know someone who went through the interview process?

Nice. They dont have that big of an aircraft fleet; CRJ7, ERJ 135 140 145 lol. I bet though most of it is probably OJT.. and like the first 2 weeks are classroom. If your able to find out what the training is like please let me know. Thanks! :)
 
I'm not sure what exactly a fleet service clerk is, but I think a lot of times training like that is split up, so you're not actually gone for 5 weeks, but all together it may be 5 weeks of cumulative training before you're qualified on everything.

Fleet Service is another name for Ramp or Baggage Handler :). Thats what I was thinking as well. Thanks for the insight.
 
It'd be nice if every airline used the same title for those kinds of jobs. It'd make job hunting a lot easier. I imagine most if it is ticket counter and gate training. I'm only ramp at my company and they only sent me off for training for about 4 days. My friends that are cross utilized did that then came back for the cs stuff. I'm not sure how long if a gap between training there is though. Good luck in the interview!
