 We've hired over 150 students into American Airlines over the last four or five years, but we know that we need to do a little bit more and make this more of a solid partnership between us and Tulsa Tech. American is donating new equipment for hands-on training for Tech students, along with direct access to the 3,200 Tulsa-based aviation maintenance technicians. The deal also guarantees Tulsa Tech's top-performing students in the program interviews for open positions at the airline.
