Pros

Pay is good (as it pertains to aviation) but there is more to life than MONEY! Travel IF there is an open seat Ummmm, yea, that's it for PROS!!!

Cons

QUALITY OF LIFE is better than at a REGIONAL or a BUDGET AIRLINE but in comparison to OTHER MAINLINE Airlines, it sucks Douggie CEO is running this company down the toilet You are EXPENDABLE and it is made known to you daily The "union" is useless and sides with the company bc they are an "inhouse" entity, there is NO REPRESENTATION! We have a cotract that is broken DAILY! Management makes up new rules as they go along Scheduling turnover is very high so they have NO IDEA what our contract says Flight Attendants have been programmed to act like poor little lost sheep and to never question management judgement, so thats what they do Current uniforms HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO CAUSE HEALTH ISSUES, but the new hires are being FORCED TO WEAR THEM ANYWAY

People, 401k match, flight benefits

Low Pay for Tech, flight benefits for standby are now harder to use. Lots of offshoring. Company does not seem to know where to go. Lowest of the totem pole for airlines.
