Pros

You get to meet nice people.

Cons

The pay is frankly unacceptable a starting FA is taking home paychecks of around $600, which is barely livable given the demands of the job. The benefits are outrageously expensive, making an already low paycheck feel even worse. There’s absolutely no sense of pride or support from the company, and morale is extremely low. The training process feels less like professional development and more like hazing. Instructors are openly disrespectful, intimidating, and treat trainees terribly instead of preparing them to succeed. For the level of responsibility and stress involved, the compensation and treatment are completely out of touch. To put it into perspective, a starting employee at McDonald’s can make more money while dealing with far less pressure and hostility.

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.
