Pros

Wholly-owned subsidiary of American Airlines so your benefits are the same as mainline employees!

Cons

Reserve life is horrendous and bases (PHL, DFW, CLT, DAY, DCA) are getting larger without many lines being added.

Pros

Great Company to work for. PSA is very invested in their people and push people to be their very best and allow for growth/opportunities. Charlotte has really brought on a new culture and a Team environment.

Cons

Work environment is very fast paced with high expectations

Pros

-Travel benefits are great; you get the same perks as mainline. -If you live in one of their bases, it's convenient if you get assigned to that base -Same uniform as mainline AA -Very easy training, only 4 weeks. Not hard to ace the tests and drills, especially if you pay attention

Cons

-The pay is extremely low -You barely have time and money to use those travel benefits -You need to pick up more hours or an extra job to make ends meet -FAs are not paid well enough -Crew scheduling can be very challenging -They make you pay for your uniforms in your first year, which is a thousand plus dollars (pay is low enough, you still need to shoulder the expensive uniform)
