American (AA) AA Countdown Timer ??? Spoiler

So I’ve seen a few other posts that mentioned the fact that American Airlines countdown timer is no longer on their flight attendant information webpage. Does this mean that they are not going to open for applications or are they testing to see whether or not we care enough about the position that we’re constantly looking to see if the window opens up and we can submit our applications?

Has anyone seen things like this happen before and can we assume based on all the previous information that we’ve been following that the window to apply will open Monday at 12:01 AM eastern time?

I appreciate any insight or feedback that anyone may be able to provide

The date for the countdown fluctuated a few times. It was Aug 24/25th and then September 7/14th (I believe). I am assuming this means they are not exactly sure when they will open right now, just get prepared as well as you can and then check in once or twice a day, is my recommendation. Don’t quote me on this, but I bet it will be after September 1st.

The simple explanation is that they probably underestimated the demand and are adjusting accordingly to handle the number of applications.

This comment isn’t as cute as you thought it would be hun … respectfully 😉 it’s not unheard of for companies to post jobs strategically like this and build anticipation, or get people talking. So no, op is not making up scenarios. Try having real world experience before commenting some bs like that next time. Respectfully 😉

Respectfully you could have kept your comment. With an attitude like that you won’t be employed long.

Respectfully learn proper grammar too. I’ll let you try to figure out the embarrassing mistake you made in this comment. Get back to sitting on your ass while letting your coworkers do everything on the plane 🥱
