I submitted my application early fall. The day I submitted my application, I received an email to complete the CUT-E test. I completed two Meet & Greets with AA.  (one the next month and one 4 months later.   I had a third Meet & Greet scheduled with AA at WAI. Three weeks prior to my M&G at WAI, I was sent the Hogan test then scheduled for my Admin Zoom Call a week later. Two days prior to WAI, I received a phone call from AA saying they want to forego my M&G and...

I had a M&G at WAI. Very pleasant experience. I handed in my resume and waited about 10 minutes upon check in. TMAY and your resume, tell me something about yourself not on your resume, tell me about your volunteer work and why AA. At the end, what questions do you have? Recruiter was very nice, and it was overall a great...

Very casual experience from top to bottom. Flown out to DFW the night before the interview, picked up in the AM for the ride to the CR Smith Museum. Stowed bags, handed over logbooks, walked the museum, watched a movie, had a short Q&A with non-HR pilots, and then released back to the DC3. The pilot panelists walked in and found each of us and took us to our respective desks. They all really seemed happy to be there and made us feel welcome and excited to be there. Questions were TMAY,...

Whole interview is as outlined in the study guides. Mostly, a laidback experience. Straightforward questions, very nice and professional culture. TMATW, and basic HR questions from the pilots conducting the interview. After the interview they will take you to a room with a model airplane and some couches. We had some in our group called from this room and were not seen again. There were 10 of us, and a couple got pulled...

Interview was as outlined in the study guides. Laid back and professional. Everyone at the Dallas Hub was kind. The actual interview was roughly 40 minutes long. Following the interview, we were taken into a room with a model aircraft, while they reviewed our Logbooks. We were in the room for what felt like an hour. Eventually, a group came out to welcome us to American. We were then taken to a new room for fingerprinting and...

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...
