Sick, that's interesting I didn't know AA were in that game. I wonder what the experience levels of those who paid for a rating is? There are not many if any LH outfits who will employ you with less than 2.5 - 3000 hours on largish aircraft, rated or not so I would expect them to be fairly seasoned operators although generally most of those who buy a speculative type rating are at the low end of the experience scale. That's a lot of dosh to take a chance on.
Perhaps they were promised employment by AA and then shafted? BMI did that to a mate of mine many years ago, in which case AA will definitely not be getting a Christmas card this year.
Best of luck to everyone else who has applied.
