plenty of space for that captain to stretch out.
When Delta was looking for 500 FA's they had 85,000 applicants.
Good news! I predict that AA gets at least 100,000 applicants and can afford to be very selective.
I just hope the current bad attitude f/a's don't infect the new hires with all their anti AA rhetoric. Those bad attitude FA's had the chance to leave with some cash. Reminder to all the FA's that work at AA, you chose to stay at AA!!!!!!
It has been a long time sense any of us have looked for a job, any job that offers full medical benefits and travel benefits, for a job that requires nothing more then a high school diploma, is a job worth having. When Delta was looking for 500 FA's they had 85,000 applicants.
So what I'm saying is, be nothing more then welcoming to the new hires, you chose to stay.
Are you applying?
When I started flying, I was recruited from college. The majors, (TWA and Pan Am) actually came on campus and recruited. AA needs to change its corporate culture if they want to be successful. Don't blame the current f/as. I love how people love to "assume" they know the requirements of a f/a. Very few have just an HSD. Most have multiple degrees and speak several languages. Being a f/a is still a draw to nurses and teachers, and lawyers and social workers and police officers and business majors. I will be willing to bet AA hires more "mature" f/as. Not as much drama, faster turn over to keep salary cap low, and with the demise of retiree insurance the cheapest hire. Also, no maternity and for the most part a better work ethic, Bets?
