I applied online. I interviewed at American Airlines (Dallas, TX) in Aug 2017
Interview
Applied online and received a video interview about a week later (6/7), to which you had five days to complete (6/10). I was "in progress" for about two months and my date had changed twice before I finally got the email for a f2f (8/23). They flew me out to Dallas the morning before and I highly recommend you to request this.
Walked into a room where about 40 of us were sitting at tables and waiting while socializing. There was about 6-7 of us placed at each table. We did a group activity first where they observe you and how you interact with people. Recruiters are walking around and really observing you while taking notes. After the group activity, they called us out in different groups where we were placed in a different room and had a group interview with two of the recruiters.
First we all answered the same two questions. Then we were each given a different card with a question on it that we were not able to look at until it was our turn to read and answer the question. After the group interview, we watched a video about the company and was able to ask questions. During the question time, we were each called out one by one. This is where you find out if you get the job or not. If they take you to another room to ask more questions, do a reach test and a jump seat test, you got it. But if they walk you out towards the exit and pretend to ask you other questions, you didn't get it. You won't know if you got it or not till about a week later. They did it a little differently than I had read on here. It seemed like the ones that weren't going to get a CJO were all called out first as the recruiters returned back rather quickly. However, as it started narrowing down to about 15 people in the room...they were taking longer. I was the last 5 in the room and was taken into a small room for one on one with a recruiter then did jump seat & reach test, plus photo with my passport. The others who were the very few in the room towards the end received the same. I am expected to know for sure within a week!
