AA @ Job Fairs

[DenverCrashpad]

Anyone know what to expect from meeting with AA at job fairs?

 

[Claymie]

Is there an AA job fair coming up?

 

[goahead]

Talked to them at 3 job fairs even know one of the recruiters very well. Nothing has come from any of it, I start at DAL in Nov........would of rather gone to AA
They're really great people there I just don't think it helps to see them at a job fair, UAL it def does and DAL it does also.
Just my opinion

 

[kf4amu]

Last two I went to, they were not accepting resumes. United has a very good presence and seems to take it more seriously. But with 12k apps on file at each company, I guess I can see why it's pointless to accept resumes.

...I start at DAL in Nov........would of rather gone to AA

Are you going to continue pursuing AA after you start at DL ?

 

[labbats]

I don't know anyone hired at AA due to a job fair.

United and Alaska it seems several job fairs are almost a must though.

Dude!

Do NOT let the General hear you say that---you'll get several posts of how much better Delta is than anyone, and it is Fantastic! That you are starting there. He'll probably even throw in some comments about how bad it is at Southwest and how bad LBB is, even though nobody mentioned it.

Good luck.

I think AA is the better place now. There are others leaving DL for AA. Hopefully you'll be in the same boat.

Who ARE these people? Some guys don't get called by anyone throughout their entire careers! Just always been fascinated by the "lucky bunch" in this biz. Leaving Delta for AA?

 

[General Lee]

Really? I doubt that. After people see the SLI fight between US/AWA/AA and the resulting award explosions, there will probably be a mass migration to DL and UA. What a nightmare that place will become.

The only reason to go there is if you live in DFW or MIA, and it still will be a test of your patience. The leadership and warring employee factions make it a thumbs down.

Bubba,

If that guy wants to go somewhere else, then he should. Any of the big 3 would be a good choice, primarily because they all have 5000+ retirements each within the next decade, and none of them have to go to Midland or Lubbock. Hopefully that guy makes the right decision for himself, and he may really like what he sees while in DL Indoc.

DAL, another one of those low-rent "pay-for-training-lodging" outfits. No wonder so many guys are retiring... ?

 

[OState597]

Had an AA new hire in the jump last month who left Delta after 9 months.

General, it never ceases to amaze me how big of a tool you are, especially because you brag to much.

I remember you telling people on this forum in the past that AA/US will be a great place to work due to retirements, size, etc. Now you're taking the opposite stand stating people will be miserable, it's undesirable unless you live in DFW, and there will be a mass exit to UAL and DL.

Statements like those are why nobody likes you. One can only imagine how horrible it would be to actually have a conversation with you in person or to have you in the jumpseat. Every airline I guess always has "THAT guy". No matter what you post in return or in general, it won't matter because you're "THAT guy"

Wow, you are really upset, and it ceases to amaze you because you can't understand my "genius." Don't worry, most people can't. I have always stated that going to any big 3 would be good overall, but after watching what has happened between US and AWA, it looks like AA would be number 3 out of 3. You can't debate that, the instability within that total pilot group is palpable. We all can't wait to watch how that unfolds, kinda like watching a bad reality show at it's conclusion.

As far as "everyone" not liking me, I beg to differ. I get PMs daily from people with interview questions and asking for advice. It is extremely unlikely I will ever be on your jumpseat too, I live in the largest pilot base in the World, and I don't need to go on any other carrier. I certainly wouldn't want to be on any AA/US jumpseat after the SLI is completed, that is guaranteed to be an uncomfortable whine session for decades.

And I guess I am "that guy." The guy who knows it all, because I actually do. You can't debate me on anything, and to me you are "yet another one of those guys." A waste of my time.

Saw UAL in MAF today, and AA flies to LBB regularly. Personally, I'd fly my 737 to LBB every day for the pay and bennies I get. Plus I don't have to fly with you.

You really are an idiot.

Uhhhhh, really. That UAL flight, (UAL 1814) was a charter to New Iberia, LA. Maybe a football charter? (Who again is the idiot?) Take a look on Flightaware dot com. AA does have 2 daily MD80s to DFW it seems. The majority are E145s, though.

I'm very happy I'll never fly with you. I'm glad you could always fly to West Texas for your current pay and benefits, too. Whew! Somebody has to do it, and that won't be me. (Thank Gawd). Enjoy!

As I recall, Delta ( mainline ) once flew scheduled service into LBB. Sadly, they found they couldn't compete, and terminated that service including the DFW hub, where they couldn't compete either.

Thanks for taking the time to verify that there was indeed a UAL 737 in MAF.

Made ya look.

What was this thread about?

And you knew why it was there.....I proved you wrong in MAF, no scheduled UA service there. You're welcome.

No, they had 732s to AMA, MAF, and LBB. But, apparently it didn't bring in enough revenue. Today it probably still doesn't, or 717 service would be added most likely. As far as DFW goes, it's true, DL retreated due to AA's dominance there. In the meantime, AA just went BK and DL has reduced it's debt from $18 Billion to almost $5 billion, and will have the most profitable quarter EVER for Q3. Yeah, how's your airline doing now? Never mind, I don't care.

Psychologically speaking, if most other people cant see your "genius", you are probably a psychopath. Just saying.

[General Lee]

No, it was too much profit sharing. He didn't want any, zero, zilch. So AA was his next choice.

Oh please I hope you are right. I would love nothing more than for more people to leave after SLI beyond mandatory retirements. Right up the list those who stay will go. Thus making us the fastest advancement airline, thus making us a place people want to come. Then they will leave DAL and UAL in mass migration.

It's a ferris wheel buddy. The flavor of decade always goes back down at some point. And UAL? Really? Have you even seen their culture? You realize their margins are awful. They are moving money to show profits, and are not paying down debt. They outsource everything except what scope will not allow. They layoff UAL people, then outsource to lowest bidder. Agents, rampers, you name it. While I think pilots will fair okay, but only cause of mandatory retirements, I do not think a mass exodus to UAL is a great move. Oh and they are led by Jeff Smisek, the biggest scumbag of them all. Hand picked by Frankie Lorenzo himself to be a labor lawyer in the scaborific days. What do I know though, you have 19000+ post (it's truly sad) so you are an authority on the matter.

I'm still hoping you come up with one post with substance. If you can't see that your airline will be full of pizzed off people for decades, and how that could affect going to work, then you're in for some great fun. Your leadership is skeptical, at best. Dougwiser fell into that job, and look how he treated the East and the West. No raise, let them fight it out even though the Easties did sign on for "binding" arbitration..... How crazy, and your top 2 guys watched it happen, saving money and probably laughing. Yeah, good luck with those guys. What was his last offer to you guys? Delta (yep, again) plus 5%, 81 seat scope, and NO profit sharing. Really? I know the APA said no to the scope and demanded more money, but with lower oil, your bosses will drag it out, even with your "me too" clause with DL, but leave out Profit Sharing. Why is that important? It could have added 2 or more extra MONTHS of pay in one check to your total. He doesn't want to give it to you. You apparently don't deserve it in your bosses minds. Oh well. UAL will benefit with lower oil, and that will help them pay down their debt, although slower than the rest. But, their pay rates will be close to the other big 2, and they will get some profit sharing, which during good times should go to employees. Sounds like your guys don't see it that way, which is sad. I hope that changes for you.

I understand what you mean when you stated the "flavor" of the decade always goes back down. But let's look at the big 3 NOW. Who has the least amount of debt? Who has the best or smartest management? Who has thought "out of the box" when it comes to this industry? Which airline or airlines have infighting? Who is way ahead of the pack? Go ahead and answer those questions and determine which airline is set up for "success" rather than lagging behind or not taking care of debt and internal squabbles. Those are questions potential new hires should be trying to answer.

My 19,000+ posts have substance when it comes to this industry. What's truly sad is your weak attempt to debate me.

Saved himself on labor costs for years (probably for a few more still). Sounds like a good CEO...
