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...

The interview was pretty much exactly like everyone has posted. I stayed at a hotel not far from the American campus and took the 8:30 a.m. van over. Once we arrived, we did some paperwork and document verification. Make sure you bring all of your originals â?? driverâ??s license, passport, FCC radio permit, First Class Medical, and pilot certificate. They check everything and then take your logbooks for review. After that, we watched about a 20-minute video and then waited for the... -

Gouges on this site is accurate. Be prepared to have a further conversation after you answer TMAAT questions. Its a back and forth continuing conversation that will cover what ifs. Same with situational questions. Stay relaxed and calm. A bit of a deeper dive into your thought process and utilizing available team members or information. Great experience! Logbooks need to be squared away. I believe the "cart of doom" was mostly due to logbook discrepancies. So audit them well and relax so you... -

All the recent reports were right on, so read those closely. It was an incredibly positive experience, while still being an interview. Professional, welcoming, but not "uptight"... Not "whatever" either, just super well-organized. Relaxed, but on point. Look sharp, be sharp, follow directions to the letter. Especially logbook criteria. They spell out what they want. Everyone got different questions, but you are nearly guaranteed variations of TMAY and at least 2 each of WWYDI, TMAAT and... -

The interview went eaxctly as others have described. Presentation movie of the company, then Q & A. Waited around the DC3 for your two pilots that will interview you. Then sat for the about 45 mins answering the usual TMAY and TMAAT. A few flying scenarios. Then waited around for the results of those that would leave with their logbooks. Then went for fingerprinting and drug test. Drink lots of water once you find out you received your... -

Admin interview: Same as everyone has said here. About 30 min. Very friendly. 2 TMAAT questions regarding conflicts and crew disagreements. Wear a suit and check your video setup and background area before. On location. Exactly as described. Drop off logbooks. Watch a 20 min movie. Then about 45 min interview with 2 pilots by the DC3. TMAYS in 5 min, a few TMAAT questions, WWYD questions. The question bank available here has good questions for your prep. They give you a sheet of paper... -

Everything is spot on from what you read here. HR phone interview 2 weeks out, TMAY, Why AA, then confirming uploaded documents. Then In-person interview was a great experience, they flew us out day before stayed at a hotel, met other applicants in lobby before taking shuttle in morning to AA. Everyone is super nice and relaxed, we were brought to a room to check documents and hand in logbooks, then brought to watch a 20min video. Then the interview began, tables around the DC-3, take... -

Was spot on from the others. Badge. Mingle. 2nd badge. Mingle. Go back and watch the video. Everyone is super friendly. The DC3 is sweet. Theyâ??ll take you back for 2 on 1 interview by the plane. The pilots interviewing you are also very nice and friendly. Overall a great experience. Youâ??ll still be nervous even though theyâ??ll try to make you not. I got TMAY, 2-3 TMMAT, 2 situational events, then another few customer oriented questions. A bit of small talk in between and throughout.... -

The admin portion is straightforward. Show up, drop off logbooks, verify paperwork/passport/ATP/etc. Quick tour and 20 minute video. Some Q&A with a training center rep and then out for the interviews. The interviews are with a two person pilot team underneath the DC-3, so all 13 of us had our interviews simultaneously and around the DC-3, which I thought was super cool. Once the interviews are complete itâ??s back to the training offices to wait for the results. We didnâ??t have the... -

My interview experience was the same as previously stated in prior reviews. The interview was a very relaxed conversation with two captains. Review this study guide and come up with about 8 flying stories that you can use for the TMAAT... -

Stick to the study guide, questions came right off of it. For the Scenarios, it is much more about your decision making process rather than the actual outcome, work through your normal CRM process of handling any emergency, gather information using 2-in 2-out method. Entire interview was very conversational, they want to make sure you're someone they want to go on a trip with. "Cart of Death" is a real thing, everyone feels the pain as soon as it is rolled out. Finger prints and some...
