Pros

Flight benefits! And even those aren't great because they have the most screwed up system in place that allows people who are not even employees (eligibles) to travel and board before people who are actually full-time active employees.

Cons

Refuse to change. Stuck in their old ways, which has led them to bankruptcy many times over. Understaffed, WAY understaffed. Top management refuses to allow any department (besides Pilots and Flight Attendants) to hire the necessary people to support and run the airline. Every department is 1/2 staffed, and everyone runs around like a "chicken with their head cut off" because everyone is stretched to the breaking point, and has WAY TOO MUCH to do, and not enough time to do it. Everything is reactionary because no one can get ahead of the curve due to inadequate staffing levels. And the stress level for everyone is beyond belief! It is off the scale! And top management is blind and has no clue!

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.
