Pros

Pay is OK. OT is good. Training is good. Looks good on a resume. People are good as a whole. AE easy to get into.

Cons

The company treats you as if you are lucky to work for them. Expect the company to be first in your life. Management treats employees as a number. Flight benifits are not as good as other carriers and are hard to use at most times of the year. Poor union would vote out and would love to work in non unoin shop.
