When will American contact applicants?

When will American start contacting people for the first part of their interview process?

 

[Flyer1015]

Probably mid to late October for interviews in November and classes in December.

This note was in the sign in page of the application.

We realize that it takes some time to complete the application and we do appreciate your time. You have until October 9th, 2013 to complete your profile. American will not be viewing submitted profiles until then.

It's about to start.

Hehehe... I always chuckle when I see that cartoon guy's post.

1. We anticipate a large volume of interest in our Pilot posting and expect it will take extra time to manage the hiring process. As a result, it may take several months for you to receive a response. Please click "Yes" to acknowledge that you are aware of this extended processing time.
Yes No

I checked yes for that and am fully aware but I was just curious when the people with serious connections will start getting called

I got the app done earlier this week but just want to make sure that you just select the radio button for "publish" and hit "save" and that's it, right? To submit it? Seemed a little casual...no "SUBMIT" button. I feel like I missed something.

thought I read or heard that they have received 5K+ apps already.

 

[aa73]

Yup, over 4000 apps received. Good luck to all, great to see hiring!

 

[spudskier]

well... 1500 jobs, 5000 resumes. 1 in 4ish applicants currently have a chance of getting hired. Better odds than the lotto!

FYI-This was posted on the sign in page tonight.

We encourage you to keep your application up to date. The posting will remain active for the time being; we’ll consider a timeline for a potential closing date as we move through the process.

Actually it's a lot more. Someone posted an internal email/message that stated the company received 4000 applications within 24 hrs of opening the window.

Prolly the same 4k that applied to UAL,DAL,US, and every other airline hiring. Not much to spread around over the next 5 years.

I agree!

 

[CX880]

Yea but with no total time required how many of those 4k are just trolling. Maybe that's why they want to keep it open!

$35 an hour for 1st year pay? Are you kidding me?

That's what bankruptcy wages do.

 

[NoJoy]

It wouldn't matter if first year pay was $20.00hr; thousands would still apply.

 

[acaTerry]

It wouldn't matter if first year pay was $20.00hr; thousands would still apply.

But its a BIGGER shiny jet!

That is the unvarnished truth. We can bitch about it but if we were in their situation, we would do it too.

Irrelevant. UPS pays $39 an hour first year, and they are some of the richest guys in sky.
