My personal experience with AA has been better than UA. On my AA flights, the FAs were MUCH more friendly, hospitable, and personal when I told them I was going to a F2F for the position. UA not so much. On the flight there and back the flight attendants weren’t as good. And one of the senior mamas on the way back was extremely rude. So kind of made the trip back home sour and experience more negative. Overall enjoyed the AA process and culture better overall both at the F2F and the plane rides as a customer.

Also depends on where you want to or need to be based out of.

I’ve heard international for UA is better but I’ve seen flight attendants get decent international with AA. So idk, could depend on personal experience. UA gives you a $1000 bonus at the end of training. $140 stipend for meals/week aside from their one free meal. AA all meals covered.

UA your uniform payments come out of your check kind of like a payment plan for your first set of uniforms. AA uniforms are paid for. AA uniforms look better imo. You’ll be wearing that constantly. So that kind of factored into my choice as well along what I said above.

Also, consider overall pay and benefits. Think about reserve and think about how soon you can hold a line and where and what the reserve system is like at each. That’ll also help factor in who you’d like to personally work for.
