Pros

A good place to cut your teeth as and entry level employee. The "ULCC" business model means you will be overworked and underpaid but you will get a far greater breadth and depth of experience in a short period of time than you would at a legacy airline. Great for gaining experience but do not stay for more than three years, maximum.

Cons

Highly dysfunctional operation that manifests in an extremely toxic workplace. Financial waste is vast and egregious. Management is largely checked out from ground level reality.

Pros

It pays “some” of my bills.

Cons

I want to begin by expressing my disappointment with the union’s representation of its members. There is a significant lack of transparency and consistent communication, leaving many employees feeling uninformed and disconnected from the bargaining process. From my perspective, aircraft mechanics working under this contract are compensated well below the industry standard despite the critical role we play in maintaining safety and operational reliability. It often feels as though these concerns are not being adequately addressed or prioritized. Unfortunately, the current environment has made this airline feel more like a temporary stepping stone than a place where skilled mechanics can build long-term careers. Until meaningful improvements are made to compensation, communication, and representation, I believe retaining experienced technicians will continue to be a challenge.
