Everything mentioned in the prior experience reports have been spot on. Arrived at HQ, got checked in and chatted with random pilots in passing. Everyone was extremely kind, really. We got started right on time, dropped off our logbooks, walked past the DC3 where the interviews conducted, through the museum and into the movie theater. The video is epic. If you weren't sure about wanting to work at American before, you will be after. Then came the interview. Two interviewers come and take you to a table, they provide you with a pen and piece of paper with aids to help...

Interview is super laid back. Captain and FO both were easy to talk to and felt more like a conversation than an interview. The hardest part of the whole experience is waiting for your results. Highly recommend having logbook audit done and logbooks professionally printed. For the technical based scenario questions the interviewers said there are no right or wrong answers just make a safe decision and stick to... -

I cannot stress enough how similar the experience was to the other write ups on here. Nothing was different, and I wasnâ??t asked a question that has not been posted here. Just follow their instructions ahead of time and enjoy the experience. Overall, this was the most positive and relaxed interview Iâ??ve had in my career. 12 in our group, 10 got... -

Overall it was an outstanding experience. The previous trip reports posted here were spot on. Unless you drive you arrive the day before. The day of your interview you check out of the hotel and entire group heads to the American complex where you will stay until taking a shuttle to the airport. 10 of us interviewed and 8 received CJOs. American is very specific about logbook requirements so be sure that you follow all instructions on the logbook checklist they provide. The interview itself... -

Great experience...Just review the study guide here and be cool and calm..Make sure your logbook is spot on. Technical questions are easy and TMAAT are important how you handle them. I will speak slow and deliberate and confident...It is just q conversation at the end. You made it this far so you will do... -

The interview was very chill. Bring your original medical, FCC permit, ATP, and Passport. After verifying those records, they take your logbooks. AA has a logbook checklist. I highly recommend following this TO THE LETTER. If you have questions about your logbook, email the hiring team before your interview. You'll watch a 20-minute movie about AA, then be taken to the DC-3 in the museum for the interview. You'll be interviewed, two-on-one, by two AA pilots. It's very friendly and relaxed.... -

The whole process was great and they made you feel as calm as they could. I was asked questions in the interview, (view the study guide of this website). They gave me a scenario of you're holding short of the runway and they are reporting freezing drizzle. the temperature in -2C and you are 29 minutes past deice. They did ask me a question that involved flight attendants but because I currently do not have flight attendants on the aircraft I flew so she opted to ask another question.... -

It was the same as the other people have said on this website. You fly in the night before stay at a hotel. They pick you up in a van and bring you over to the American Airlines flight Academy. When you get there, you get your badge to get inside the building and you wait until the HR representative comes to pick up your group. They sit you down and look at your documentation and take your logbooks for a review. After that, they walk you over to the museum where they show you a movie about... -

Ride reports were spot on, everyone was welcoming from bus drivers to pilots doing the interview. Always be a professional from arriving to the hotel to after the interview. I had multiple interviewers in the airport shuttle going to the hotel with me the night prior to the interview. They want you on property, your job to lose! I over stressed my logbooks follow the checklist they provide you and you'll be just fine. I had tabbed out logbooks with logbook summary's and table of contents for... -

The in-person interview experience was great. It is no different than is described here. 2 or 3 TMAAT questions. Paraphrasing here. (view the study guide of this website). 2 or 3 Technical Questions. I was one of a few who were not given an offer. It went to the review board and I heard back inside within the week. I have some rocky training history and am a new 121 Captain. My time and experience will grow, and Iâ??ll be selected one day, but not today. At least one other was not... -

Interview is great, people are fantastic. They really do want you there. I cannot stress logbook cleanliness enough. I had about 102 hours of TPIC from turbo prop. All part 91 stuff before I left for the airlines. I provided a letter from my Chief flight instructor at the time and my DO at the time. As well as a letter from myself explaining how my logbooks work and thanking them. 0 questions. We lost over half the group. But questions are all on...
