Pros

Plenty of base, schedule, and equipment options. Initial training and recurrent training on-campus is the best.

Cons

Right now, the company cannot cover schedules anywhere. Crews arrive for overnights without hotel or transportation. AA workrules are worse than the commuters, and negotiations are so slow that I anticipate no contract improvements except to facilitate yet another hasty merger with Jet Blue and/or Alaska. Distance learning is a synthetic voice reading PowerPoint slides on your iPad. Training is severely backlogged. Newhires are being paid to sit at home until an opening is available. Of course, they continue to interview and frequently are no-shows for training. On the bright side, our WOKE healthcare provides for free gender assignment surgury (only 2 flavors offered) but you cannot find a dentist in-network!

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.
