I presume you mean American Airlines? I doubt you need a CFI to be an examiner there, but I don't know. I don't have access to their training manual.

The only regulation that applies here is 141.3: "No person may operate as a certificated pilot school without, or in violation of, a pilot school certificate or provisional pilot school certificate issued under this part."

The fact that they call themselves a certified flight school when they are not is a direct violation of FAR 141.3, there is no "license applied for" caveat in the rule.

Training under Part 61 is a different deal, but then you are not a certified flight school. FAA, DOT and the IRS are picky about these distinctions.

Again, my point is, they are fast and loose with the regulations on the operations side. How finicky are they on the financial side?
