CEO' s empty words

Pros

Reasonably safe work environment on aircraft. Generally great employees, despite semi-dedicated new-hires. 4% match 401k. Flexibility that increases with seniority.

Cons

Despite CEO's public emphasis on "values" and supposed respect for "the best professionals in the airline industry", worker pay remains stagnant, any pay increases offset by such tactics as lessening of profit sharing percentages. And despite CEO Anderson's rhetoric, flight attendants for the world's largest airline receive an industry standard low for pay scales while Anderson simultaneously accepts, this year, a 42% pay raise. If you don't take care of your employees, you end up getting what you pay for. Flight benefits are moot when there are no seats on over-utilized aircraft.

Pros

Occasional lucky trips or deadheading

Cons

Crash pads, commuting, working on holidays, 14-16 hour days with 8-9 hour layovers, most layovers are too short to relax or explore the city, always wondering where the next meal will come from (since we're always on the road), sometimes no breaks- other times 4-5 hour sits with NO pay, Standby is half pay, no flexibility to drop/swap trips UNLESS you're a senior mama with all the power,

Pros

flexibility, casual work environment. I cant think of a thing else!

Cons

politics are soooo bad. Many in my department get yelled and belittled at every day. We are all so upset and too scared to do anything about it for fear of retaliation as the problem goes at least as high as the director of out department and if the VP is as bad as they say he is, then it runs deeper than that. I cry almost every day for the last couple of years that I am trapped in this company and can not seem to get out due to job market and the failure of Delta to invest in developing you instead of having you play politics and games every day. Unless you are a favorite...many have already posted on that. They DO NOT value hard work. They value brown nosing and promote them and then the rest of us have to deal with a poor manager that should have never been promoted in the first place. Also,no ground rules for treating everyone fair and consistent. Some are given a lot of leeway, opportunity even actual gifts for occasions and birthdays with a big to do. Meanwhile, in the same department for another employee of the same title/rank, nothing is ever given or said. Its actually kind of like emotional torture.
