Pros

For merit employees only (there's a big difference between "merit" (office/management) and "front-line" (res, inflight, airport ops): Benefits OK - especially flight benefits Flexible work environment

Cons

Male-dominated, good-old-boy culture (good luck getting promoted if you're a woman, especially if you have children) Huge differences between work groups about workplace ethics/expectations - some work very hard, others show very little concern about work hours, efforts, results - and are not held accountable for making only small contributions
