Envoy is open

There was a time when AA didn't take anyone from Envoy for a while. That being said, based on individuals who have come through training recently, Envoy alumni get through the quickest, followed closely by externals who have dispatched before, with internals taking the longest. It is true that Flightkeys is coming before too long and will replace Sabre FOS assuming the product tests well. When that happens, Envoy dispatchers will also have to learn a new system like anyone else.

Consider something else as well. With all the Envoy dispatchers going over to AA, the crowd replacing them is getting less and less senior. Meaning in future openings, it is very likely that candidates from other airlines will have more experience than people from Envoy. Given the amount of applicants per opening these days...something to think about.

All good points, but hiring at AA at least since 2017 has been all over the place, but the most consistent thing is 4-5 Envoy guys each class. Envoy has also almost consistently hired folks before and or after AA classes. Also has Envoy not had an influx of prior experience applicants hoping to fast track to AA? So, yeah they may have 6 months at Envoy, and almost 4 years altogether.

AA is a 'who ya know' word of mouth hiring scene. Not that it's good or bad, but if your on the outside and don't know anyone at AA, and AA is where you want to career then Envoy is an easy choice. One's work isn't done once they get to Envoy, but if you're bright, hard-working, and can navigate the social structure of an open-air office correctly, Flight Keys/or FOS I think its the best place to be.
 
How long does it usually take to get called back from the time you apply? I just hate the waiting while I'm rotting away at this 145 haha
 
Alright, I got an invitation to interview. I've been looking around here for what I need to study to prepare, I've also gone and had a little miniature mock interview with one of the higher ups in the school I attended.

I see a lot of people advising about tests with most carriers, but if there's anyone that been in the ring for Envoy recently, I'd love to hear about your experience! Did you have to write an essay? What was a question you struggled on? What's your advice for getting to the next round? I'm not looking for the magical answers to everything, but I don't want to go in to this blind.

Thanks!

Really? The COI in SGU must have skyrocketed from a few years ago.

The COL here is insanely high. Our dispatchers have to share accommodations and sell plasma to survive.
We have folks in our OCC who are forced to share housing, even at the ages of 35 and older.
