Pros

Good travel benefits and competitive pay. The equipment and training is excellent. High standards of excellence throughout flight crew training. Excellent 401K and now even a Roth401K with good match. As a pilot your experience will be with some of the most experienced regional pilots in the country due to American Eagle's aged pilot group.

Cons

Very slow upgrade time. Unknown future with possible sale/spinoff looming. Many short overnights for flight crews with little rest periods. Poor communication and direction from management on all levels. Oil prices appear to be hurting the bottom line even worse than poor management decisions. The medical benefits are decent but are getting more and more expensive as with many companies. The costs seem to be passed along to the workgroup.
