So far, 13 people at Eagle, 12 dispatchers and 1 scheduler, have either been offered the job at American or have been told American wants to hire you, myself included. They send an HR email to welcome you to AA, then they set up fingerprinting and background checks before doing the drug test and physical. The official job offer comes after all the background checks are done.
First class of 11 is set for mid October with all internals with seven from Eagle. A slight paperwork snag is slowing down finalizing a date for the first class. Second class in December with have half of the 12 from Eagle and half external.
Dispatch experience levels of those hired from Eagle so far range from no dispatch experience (crew scheduler) to around 20 years. Its been a broad range of ages hired. The two youngest hired are aged 24 and 26. Two oldest around age 55.
AA has taken a total of 4 line holding equipment coordinators from Eagle and 3 relief equipment coordinators. Another has coordinating experience at another carrier.
No word yet on when externals will be told. 48 externals interviewed for 6 spots in December class. I am not sure how many people both external/internal are being put in hiring pools for future classes next year. There is supposed to be a January class but of unknown size.
If you don't live in near one of AA hubs you will likely need to fly to DFW, JFK, ORD, MIA to get your fingerprinting and drug test/physical. Travel offered on stand by basis. Each one will likely require separate trips.
