Pros

The flight benefits are good(better than some others)and most pilots and flight attendants were very nice,and they care about doing a good job , even when being beat down by the management, All the planes are on the newer side for a regional express carrier,Instructors are wonderful and they have an excellent training program. training is paid unlike many other companies that make you pay for lodging (training is 100% paid for) not a bad place to start a career, just don't stay past 4 yrs or they will find a way to get rid of you , i lasted 7 yrs which was about 3 yrs too long. weak union too. they like high turnover.

Cons

they need a culture change. management and HR do not like the Flight Attendants they are viewed as required equipment and they really don't want you to stay too long .get the experience and then go to a major airline and be a real flight attendant is their mindset, very 2 faced management..

Pros

Good training program with good instruction.

Cons

The current wait for IOE is a bit long, so I’m hoping chair flying and running through all of the procedures is enough to not end up too rusty.

Pros

1. Incredible work-life balance. The team is incredibly collaborative and there to help out. There are plenty of opportunities to take ownership and step in where you would like to make decisions backed by data. Everyone understands life outside of work is real and is not just accommodating to it but encouraging prioritizing that. 2. The autonomy given to employees to do their job as they see fit is incredible. 3. Travel benefits. I went to London last weekend to watch a soccer game for the cost of taxes.

Cons

1. Corporate red tape. For being under the American Airlines umbrella, I would've assumed we would be more established. It feels like a startup in some ways with the red tape and scissors being held by American. This just slows things down. 2. Vacation days lag behind the market. Other companies have 4-5 weeks or unlimited PTO. For a company that runs on business travel and vacations, I would've thought that the emphasis on the need to vacation would be higher as you get 10 days to start + 2 jetaway days (floating holidays) + 4 days of personal time (meant for appts and sick days). 3. Salary expectations not met. However the room for growth within the company counters this.
