I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at American Airlines (Dallas, TX) in Feb 2022
Interview
OK this will be a very in depth description to help you all achieve your goals. I believe anyone could get this far and I just what to help you get there so enjoy.
I applied on January 10th 2022 and took my assessment shortly after my application was submitted. I got am email for my VI on January 22nd and did it on the 27th.
In my VI there were about 30 candidates and 3 recruiters. Everyone was told to introduced themselves, give a fun fact about yourself, and what state you live in currently. After that they ask everyone ONE question. Make sure you try to stand out with your answer because they are writing notes on what you say. SMILE! The questions are general situational and past experience. Their were about 7 questions and they just repeated them so you might get a question that was already asked so be paying attention to what they are and what you would say. Or just make sure you don't agree with anyone/ say the same thing as them. Total time took about 30 min. Good Luck!
I got my email invite for a F2F on February 4th and the F2F was on February 11th at 9am. This was so much fun and you meet a lot of amazing people. They flew me out to Dallas. I chose to fly out on the day before the interview because my interview was at an earlier time the next day. I luckily have family that live 5 min from the airport so I just stayed with them. Get to the interview at least 30 min early to insure check-in time and to be able to mingle with the others that are just as nervous as you. Once you check in and get your day badge they walk you in groups to the big interview room. One by one they walk you in to a second check in point. There they give you a small writing assignment to work on and assign you to a table. It was very easy and you only had to write a few sentences so don't worry. There were about 5 or 6 tables of 8-10 people each table. Get to know your table and their names because your going to be with then the whole time.
Next they introduce about 15 recruiters, 2 go to each table and will basically stay with your table the whole time. The others just walk around and observe everyone. when they get to your table everyone is asked a group ice breaker question and everyone has a min to answer it. Its fun so no stress or wrong answers. Group interviews start and they go around and ask everyone one question each. Honestly this was the hardest part of the interview for me, just the stress of saying your answer in front of your group and the recruiters can really get to you. Just breath and stay calm your gonna do great. After that they gave us a group activity. A prompt was on each table and every one from your table was your group. You work together to answer the prompt, but be quick because you only have a few min to complete it. Then you have another min to decide how your going to present it to the whole room. Also your 2 recruiters will be at your table the whole time watching. Next is a PowerPoint about the company and what to expect as a flight attendant at American. This is when the recruiters say their leaving but they are going to decide whos moving on to the one an one. The host of the interview opens it up for questions and eventually some one comes in and says thanks for coming blah blah blah, says they are going to release yall in groups just like we came in. But the first group is getting sent to the shuttles. After the first group leaves its still open to ask questions. Again someone walks in and says were going to take you another assessment. They walk you to where you do the reach test and jumps seat test. Once you complete that you go back to the main room. I was the first one to get called out of the room for the one on one so anything after this I couldn't tell ya. In the one on one it was 2 different recruiters then the ones at my table. They just ask why you want to be a flight attendant for American and other questions about your availability for starting. After all of that she offered me the job and I took it. If you are in the earlier interview you will have time to do fingerprints and the drug test.
I hope this helps everyone out there feel prepared and confidant about the whole process. Good luck and see yall in the sky! xoxo
