      Pros

      Flexibility in your schedule, you are able to work around kids, family events and really anything you need to. You have total control over how much you work and what time of day and what days you wish to work. Fun crews to work with, feeling in control of your enviorment while on the job.

      Cons

      The downsides are being on reserve 3 times a year after being with a company for 20 years. In those 3 months the only thing you have control over is what days you have off. Being reassigned without prior warning and dealing with rude passengers.

      Working for American Eagle provides solid stability at the cost of slow career advancement.

      Pros

      Working for a stable company with a parent company that has never gone bankrupt is comforting in a wild industry that has made little overall profit over the decades.

      Cons

      It takes 8-10 years to progress from a first officer to captain, with many senior captains electing to make a career at this airline. This career mindset represents good work rules, benefits, and pay, however progression for the newer guys is limited unless you're looking at a decade time scale. You must be satisfied with $35,000-$50,000 per year as a first officer, than you can progress to the low six figures when you finally attain captain status.
