American Airlines interview questions

I was excited about the prospect of joining the Revenue Optimization team at American Airlines, but the interview experience was honestly one of the worst I have encountered in my career. From the moment the call started, the atmosphere was cold and unwelcoming. It did not feel like a conversation to assess mutual fit; it felt like a hostile interrogation. The interview consisted entirely of them reading from a script. They drilled me on about 6 or 7 back-to-back probability questions. When I paused to think or got stuck on a specific logic puzzle, there was absolutely no guidance or collaboration. Usually, interviewers will offer a nudge to see how you think, but here, they just stared blankly. If this is how they treat candidates, I can only imagine what the culture is like for actual employees. Advice to Candidates: Be prepared for a high-stress environment. Brush up heavily on probability, but also be prepared for interviewers who may not be interested in helping you succeed.

First round behavioral/resume screening and virtual. Second round in-person, mostly also behavioral. Recruiter told me that the second round was the final round. Got rejected a week later. (went with another candidate) They asked very basic questions. Not very technical. Each interview was only about 30 minutes.
