Pros

Fellow employees are good but in the same situation.

Cons

Mid level management on the pilot side is a Bad Show the "chiefs" hired thugs for management. Unstacked every month not getting what you bid for and you cant get out of it as the have a point system that they threaten to fire you upon every attempt to enjoy any quality of life.. it's like they thrive on misery and pain for there employees. I would be gone but they finacily bind you by giving a sign on bonus with the taxes taken out you would have to come out of pocket 35K just to walk away even after two years every penny.

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.
