Since my experience was so similar to the other trip reports, I'm just going to state what was unique for my experience as far as I can tell: (view the study guide of this website). One thing I missed initially is that they expect you to have all of your traveling luggage with you in order to to directly from the interview process. I was able to get a late check out (4pm) so I was...

The entire process was fantastic and well organized! AA provides the hotel.. The transportation is provided. All the “day of” information is provided by AA via email. There was a total of 10 people in our group, 5 were 121 pilots all Captains. The other 5 were military. Once at the training center, they have you sign in and store luggage. The AA team meets you. All were very friendly and welcoming. Make sure all logbooks are complete as they will be collected. They...

It was a great day! Just as others experienced. Received about three scenario questions and three TMAAT questions. KBUR landing scenario, weather changes when on a visual approach, did setup and brief for ILS, only ran dry numbers. LGA-BOS scenario, winter weather, one short runway available, performance says you can do it, what are thinking about 30 minutes before push. Flight Attendant has passenger confrontation about stowing her bag and no space, you are a deadheading crew member. 3...

Ensure your logbook is original. Definitely what is most disapproved of is not having an original logbook or with missing information. Spend some time verifying your hours from logbooks matches with your application. Person interview is 2 pilots. 5 questions related to how i deal with disagreement and customer service. 2 scenarios: LGA-BOS with bad weather and runway contaminated, the other one was Landing in BUR with rain, both are described in technical question. 10 out 11 got the CJO at...

Before I get to the actual events of the day, I must reiterate: double, triple, and quadruple check your logbooks. Yes, it’s that important. I tabbed all my checkride flights and the actual instructor endorsements in the back of my logbook. The instructor endorsements may have been overkill. Upon arrival, everyone got checked in at security and we waited to get escorted to the first holding area. Everyone was super supportive and encouraging! I’m a local, so I drove to the...

We arrived the night before and stayed at a nice Hotel The following day we showed up for our van ride to the training center. After arriving we received our badges and signed in. We were taken to a back room where they collected our logbooks and all documents! Make sure you bring everything even if it was required online to upload. After you are taken to the theater and watch a 20 min video on American and how everyone loves it there. Afterwards you are taken near the DC-3 in the...

Overall, a great experience. For the admin interview that is done virtually, it was TMAY, why AA, what are you thinking during a depressurization, what does inclusivity mean to you, and a verification check of all documents uploaded and that the online assessments were completed. Be mindful that there are two online assessments. I didn't realize this due to how the emails are worded. The interviewer said that is one of the reasons why they hold the admin interviews in advance is to catch...

Experience was as described in here. Make sure you have all of your documents (ATP, passport, FCC, etc.) everything you need to fly, bring it. Also all original logbooks, they care about logbooks and documentation a lot, don’t screw this part up. You bring your suitcase they have cubbies. I was asked: Tell me about yourself, TMAAT you had to give difficult feedback. TMAAT you received difficult feedback. TMAAT you flew with someone who rubbed you the wrong way. What would you do if...

Fantastic experience. You get bussed in, and then check in at the front desk. Mingle with your interview group a bit while putting bags in cubbies, then an HR rep comes out. They make you feel extremely comfortable and bring you back to a room where they call you up individually and ask for logbooks. After that, you’re taken to the museum for a 20 minute movie on AA. Then after that, taken to the DC3 in the museum to begin your interview. One by one, two pilots will come and grab the...

After watching the film you are escorted to a room with a series of interview tables where you are greeted by your interviewers and taken to a table. You are asked questions about yourself and how you...
