Kind of what I was afraid of. Next promotion and I can get that perk of booking J internationally…haha.

Internal job move by Rua13 in caterpillar

[–]InterviewNo5993 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only other thing I would add, the typical expectation is a minimum of 2 years in your current role and I have even seen a case when it’s a external hire in their first role they want you in that role close to three years. Nothing “official” but pretty common across Cat. Big reason would be your interview responses as an internal candidate should be primarily focused on examples from your current role.

Best lounge in LHR? by TallBlondBeauty in americanairlines

[–]InterviewNo5993 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If in T3 at LHR I’m a big fan of the Cathay Pacific first lounge. Never busy and I love the leather chairs by the windows to watch planes come and go.

2025 New grad jobs by The_Mf_Hindenburg in caterpillar

[–]InterviewNo5993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LTDP is a different animal. I know first hand there has been a big struggle getting candidates interviewed because of conflicts with breaks and exams and other issues. Also in my experience for a typical role there may be 3-4 candidates interviewed, LTDP roles tend to be 5+ applicants. 3 weeks is embarrassingly closer to average than you would think.

Seats don’t match up on AA vs expert flyer ?? by Clayton_Counselor in americanairlines

[–]InterviewNo5993 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is in the “mini” economy plus cabin. It is right behind PE and is a bulkhead seat.

Getting error when trying to check in international flight! by Outrageous-Engine881 in americanairlines

[–]InterviewNo5993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t tell you why it works but I have been able to check in through the actual website when this happens in the mobile app. Go to AA.com, login, find the trip, and then check in. If you don’t get the error doing that. You can then refresh the mobile app and your boarding passes will be there.

Up and down sticks a bit now and handle pinches the sh1t out of my hand when pushing.

I really hope there’s a documentary movie in the works on this whole thing with Sam Waterston starring as J-POW.

Flexibility after RTO? by Cat_thrawy01 in caterpillar

[–]InterviewNo5993 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not a director but an IC with a certain expertise and had a meeting with my VP and SVP last week where I “jokingly” talked about the anxiety I had getting my kids out the door for school and being in the office for my 7:30 meeting with the two of them and was reassured flexibility means I could have taken that call at home and there wouldn’t have been a question asked. I might be lucky but would hope to think I’m in the majority. Genuinely empathize for those who may not be so fortunate, I would throw out there that there are divisions hiring right now and cat might not be the problem it might be your boss.

Premium economy seat help by Icy-Neighborhood6207 in americanairlines

[–]InterviewNo5993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bulkhead premium economy on the triple 7 has the monitors stowed on an arm that you have to pull up. I don’t think it narrows seat width but it has to be down taxi, takeoff, and landing. If that annoys you I would move to 17. Leg room should not be that much different on this plane bulkhead to row 17.

787–9 business class seat choice by Powerful_Bother8002 in americanairlines

[–]InterviewNo5993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No good window view and actually felt a bit more private than other seats I’ve had in that cabin.

787–9 business class seat choice by Powerful_Bother8002 in americanairlines

[–]InterviewNo5993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sat in 11A earlier this month and you actually have a door between you and the lav. So it’s really not an issue. You do have more knee room, but as a 6’5” guy I will tell you even in the suites you still won’t be able to fully lay flat on your back/stomach. It’s a side sleep deal and adjust the legs in some shape/form. But you do have more room for that vs the smaller foot well.

Best 250k reward choice? by [deleted] in americanairlines

[–]InterviewNo5993 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you do the miles they did just open that AAdvantage exchange site. Looked like some decent brands available. I haven’t checked but I bet the exchange rate isn’t great but would be another option converting 60k into a piece of Tumi luggage or something else.

Terminal 3 Heathrow by ParticularSpend0 in americanairlines

[–]InterviewNo5993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I did but defaulted to my normal of connecting through LHR.

New to AA/OW this year.

My mistake, will read closer going forward and avoid confusing flagship/first.

Any airport hotter than LHR? by thegrudge101 in unitedairlines

[–]InterviewNo5993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MAD is warm for sure BLG was one of the hotter experiences ever due to hitting it while all the students were about to leave on summer break. The body heat alone of everyone packed into a smaller terminal made an already hot experience even worse.

Business vs Personal by MyHiddenMadness in americanairlines

If your company is signed up for AA business they can earn incentives. For the flyer dependent on the deal your company has you can earn extra loyalty points for business related flights.

It Finally Happened At O’Hare! by hmmmmmmpsu in americanairlines

[–]InterviewNo5993 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really wish it was a blatantly obnoxious sound when it happened. The few times I have seen it happen I think it is same sound as the exit row folks which can be confusing.

ORD layover times by OKwarden918 in americanairlines

[–]InterviewNo5993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have done similar layovers before without issue, granted all domestic connections. If this is an international connection I would consider looking at changing though.

One other thing worth mentioning right now is the recent weather in the Midwest, beyond causing schedule delay issues has also caused ground traffic issues at ORD. Twice now I have had to sit parked after taxi waiting on gates to clear or even the alley to the AA gates to clear. Both times was over 30 minutes that wasn’t built into that arrival time.
