General Overview of Experience	American was very laid back and welcoming. The people were very friendly and wanted all of us to be able to join. It was my job to loose.
How long did you have your application in before you received an invite?	12 months +
Did you attend a job fair?	No
Did you do anything special that triggered the interview invitation?	Not really. I received an interview invite to AA and Delta within a week of each other. The only thing I could think of was it was right as I hit 5000 TT.
How many internal recs did you have?	1-2
How long was it from the time of your invite to the actual interview?	2 weeks
Did you have any issues with logbooks, application or paperwork?	No. The only thing they seemed annoyed with were the instruction papers that were part of the PRIA paperwork. They only wanted the signed papers.
Technical Test Questions	Nothing that any pilot shouldn’t be able to answer.
What was the hardest technical question or content you experienced during the job knowledge test?	What is your thought process in a hold situation from LGA to DFW with storms over DFW holding over LIT with your alternate west of DFW. They wanted a thought process that had plan B C and D. Diversion airports filling up with all the other planes diverting, so make a decision quickly and still have another if that one falls through.
HR Questions	How would you tell the passengers about a runway change or delay on the ground. Looking for normal people terms and precise and to the point info. Not aviation jargon but informative.
Cog Test	I took the cog test at least 2 months before the interview invite so I guess it was successful. I received no feedback at the time that it wasn’t.
How long prior to the interview did you prepare for the HR portion of the interview?	1-2 weeks
How did you prep?	RST/- HR prep/simulator and podcasts
Which HR Prep service did you use and did it help?	N/A
Any additional information you would like to add.	They said in November of 2021 that they were looking to hire 2000+ in 2022 and that many of them were going to have to come from outside of the flow.
Is there anything you wish you could have done differently to prepare you for this process?	N/A
