Interviewed Sep 2011 in Fort Worth, TX (took 5 days)
I was brought into an outdated building and locked in a room with a giant map for about 3 hours. I went through 3 phases of interviews. The first was a technical interview, but the interviewer didn't seem very technical. Question were relatively basic with no surprises. The corporate culture was strange and the company had a dress code. All in all it was a fairly easy and formal interviewing process.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Fort Worth, TX (took a day)
First interview happened at the university's career fair. Consisted of 1 on 1 interview with a Purchasing manager that consisted of some behavioral questions and case interviews. Got a call a few weeks later to interview at headquarters in Fort Worth. This interview consisted of 3 separate interviews with managers from the purchasing organization. This was mainly case interviews in which they give you a situation and you must come up with a suitable answer.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Fort Worth, TX (took a day)
I was submitted and introduced to American Airlines by a contracting agency for the user experience lead position. I went to the AA main headquarters just south of the DFW airport. A representative from the contracting agency met me in the lobby and introduced me to one of the two managers who would interview me.
The interview itself was one of the shortest and least stressful I have ever had. Two managers asked me questions for a total of only about ten minutes. The questions were high level inquiries about my professional experience and skills relative to the position. I got the distinct impression these managers already had a positive view of me from my resume and portfolio, and from the contracting agency. It was pretty much a situation where the job was mine to lose.
I was given the opportunity to ask questions, which I did for about 15 minutes. Overall the entire interview lasted less than 30 minutes. I was shown to the lobby and that was it. I received an offer from the contracting agency the very next day.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
As a contractor, I did not negotiate directly with American Airlines regarding the terms of my contract.
However, I would give this advice to other contractors: never accept the hourly rate first offered to you. You can almost always get a bit more if you ask for it. This simple rule applies to all kinds of negotiations where money is concerned: the party who suggests a price first always loses! Or at least is in a weaker position. Counter-offering and negotiation is where good deals are made.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Fort Worth, TX (took a day)
This was the worst interview I've ever had in my life. I was given finance and math problems to answer while the interviewer sat and stared at me while I figured them with a pencil and paper. Normally, when math questions are asked in interviews, you are in a room with a test. Not this interview!

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Fort Worth, TX (took 2 weeks)
Went through and initial resume screening process, then when scheduled for a 30min. phone interview. In the phone interview they initially ask you to walk them through your resume, why you want to work for AA, and a basic behavioral question or two. Next they ask you to walk them through 2 small business case questions, then they answer any questions you might have prepared.
In the next round you are invited to HQ and given a written 30min test consisting of 3 mathematical word problems that require an understanding of basic algebra/formula, a business case question, and a question referring to the practice of overbooking. Next you go into a series of four 30min interviews with managers that follow the same basic format at the phone interview. Upon completion they take you to an informal lunch where you are encouraged to ask more questions about AA then you are finished.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Fort Worth, TX (took a day)
What interview?? It like interviewing for "widget" maker in a factory. The technical phone interview was simplest in my 10+ year career, with only a few questions about AD. The face to face was.... well less than professional than the telephone, and should have been a sign of what was to come.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Fort Worth, TX (took 4 months)
The interview process consists of three phases
1. First round phone interview by an analyst. More on technical side including questions on background and past experience
2. Second round phone interview by a manager. More high-level. Questions on background and experience again but more about testing fit with the group.
3. Onsite: a 1-hr presentation to the group + 1 panel discussion with principals and senior analysts + 2/3 vs 1. with managers + meeting with managing directors.
Overall, the experience was good and people were very smart but friendly.
