The only time AA hired 135 was post COVID when they basically took anyone with a license and a pulse

I'm guessing that Plus One Air from the recent breakdown is a 135?

 

[Bobber]

Yeah. It's down the road from spirit so I assume they probably had some 121 experience

They had zero 121 experience just 5 or 6 years with that company

And prior military service/professional flying experience if memory serves. Not your average 135 candidate.

They basically had all the experience anyone could possibly want except 121 DX, yeah. Also a smart cookie in general, brought up stuff nobody else thought of during the group interview portion from what I heard. Very much the exception that proves the rule.

He’s a super sharp dude, he will do well despite not having 121 experience.
