I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at American Airlines (Dallas, TX) in Dec 2015
Interview
(DFW) Group Interview Style at Headquarters. Roughly 4 people per group. Interviewed by Crew Chiefs and similarly titled professionals. Dress Attire is business casual. The initial interview finishes after roughly 8 questions then you are sorted (without being told) into a follow up group and a "no thanks group). Follow-up is sent to a holding room and then asked for another date of their choosing to complete the next step of the hiring process.
