Pros

Reasonable schedule.Okay benefits.Work can be satisfying and challenging. Great co workers and fellow aviators.

Cons

Pay for my level of experience is poor.Have to put in O/T to make ends meet.Poor middle management leadership.Blame culture sustains the company.Trying their best to run operations as cheaply as possible and yet they boast of great strides in safety. Too many Chiefs overseeing a very dedicated but fast burning out bunch of Indians.Upper management constantly takes fat bonuses and stock options but won't give a raise to their employees even though the company made money in the worst of economic times.If it weren't for the pilots' union we would be at the mercy of HR.Outdated pay and accounting system.Poor IT support.Too much workload on the frontlines just to make life easier for people up the chain.
