Pros
-Flight Attendant union that protests our rights, our rest, settle our grievances and just landed us a new contract. - New Contract raised starting pay to 23.56 per flight hour and by the year 2022 the starting pay will be 25.50 per flight hour. - The ability to pick up trips outside of your assigned base(even as a reserve on your days off) -The ability to work as few as 50 hours a month once you get a line* -6 months maternity leave. - A rapidly growing main line airline that is hiring steadily and quickly, boosting your seniority by almost 80-100 Flight Attendants a month just about EVERY MONTH. -Flight Benefits with most US carriers that allow you to fly stand by on virtually every airline. -International flight benefits with a plethora of Airlines that kick in at 6 months. -No limits to the amount of time you must be with the company to switch bases. No limit to how frequently you can change bases. - Relatively easy job during normal day to day operations. All you have to do is communicate with your crew, do the duties required by your position on that day and be alert about things happening with passengers or the aircraft. -Nice hotels at the layovers and very strict test rules laid out in our contracts about how many hours we can work and how many days we can work in a row. -Extremely easy to manipulate your schedule to get specific days off. -Easy to pick trips up out of base on days off. - A smaller airline with most fellow flight attendants being very kind, cordial, and willing to help and explain things to you if you need it. This also means that you get to build friendships other with flight attendants and pilots because you will often fly with the same person every few months depending on the size of your base.
Cons
- Training is VERY quick paced and 95% is emergency, do-or-die, worst-case-scenario focused. By the time you graduate and get onto your first working trip you won’t know little things like which carts go where and where to find extra trash bags. They focus so much on feeding emergency knowledge that everything else has to be picked up while you work, which can be daunting for you first few flights depending on the routes. -As a flight attendant in Vegas you will not fly very much at all on your reserve days . They’ll use you a lot the first month or two but once new hires come in (every other week) you’re just sitting around bored or sitting airport standby for a majority of the month .

Neutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Frontier Airlines full-time for more than a year
Pros
The flight benefits are cool if you can find time to use them.
Cons
Growth No growth opportunities at this time. The company is constantly trying to pinch a penny and in doing so create more work and definitely more problems. If your looking for a starting point, this is the place to start.... the bottom... the average retention rate is approximately 2 years or less. People are constantly moving and management holds off on hiring for as long as possible. There is not much help and definitely no defined way to do things. Management is kinda soft and easily pushed over. Due to the fact that the hire ups prefer to bring in outside help (specifically from southwest) because a lot of the top people are from Southwest so its like a fraternity. So management kinda looks like they are scared for their jobs. People have been let go or demoted just because the hire ups have someone else they would like to have the position....very scary.... Once you have your position and your salary set, that's it, its locked in, no moving. Except for maybe 3% yearly increase if your lucky. The managers decide how to divide the annual increase and they can cut you short. I've heard they get to keep what they don't give out so... If you come in and intend to stay in a specific position don't expect to move up unless you transfer departments. Like I said no growth. Work Atmosphere In a constantly changing atmosphere, a 24hr operation definitely takes it on some people. A lot of the positions here require you to work every day, weekends included, for operational support. The engineers are on call even after the work day ends, and weekends are included. PLUS they don't get compensated for it. The technical operations side could work for 7 days a week for 15 weeks out of the year and still only receive a salary based on 80hrs a week. The technical operations side of things is constantly changing and extremely fast paced and having to wake up at 3 a.m because someone cant read a manual is awful. Plus management doesn't enforce certain polices from department to department. For example, it's a policy that maintenance is supposed to fill out a form for requesting help from AOG or Engineering but in all my time here I don't ever think I've seen that form submitted, mostly because the form basically helps you solve the problem yourself but maintenance doesn't seem to care. There's not much support among the department due to the fact that its extremely under staffed so everyone is busy all the time and help is far from obtainable. Scheduling a meeting is like pulling teeth just trying to find the right time where everyone can be in attendance. Work Life Balance As stated above if you're in the position where you have to help support it is definitely not a good time. But....If you dont have that problem, then you're probably set. Benefits The flight benefits are with out a doubt the coolest thing about the job. However, If you don't have the time to use them and maybe only fly around once or twice a year they are worthless. If you're young, have no kids, have no pets, and have minimal to low student loans and can afford to stay somewhere then you can definitly make the most out of the flight benefits. As long as you like to travel anywhere in the continental united states, three places in Canada, and a few places in Mexico. If you need good health benefits, a nice 401k, and yearly bonuses.... find somewhere else to work. Seriously... not here. They only match up to 6% salary on 401k and there are no bonuses unless your upper management. The health care is as basic as it gets you have three options HDHP ($50-$80/pay check) , traditional PPO ($80-$120/pay check) , and Premium PPO (a lot/pay check). Vision is free and dental is free, but fees apply.

Pros
They don't seem to fire anyone. Some contractors are nice.
Cons
No one seems to care. No sense of urgency. Not a lot of creative people solving problems. No clear understanding of the architecture or code base. Everyone runs around looking busy in meetings, but solving none of the real issues. 401k doesn't even start to match for 1 year. Pay is lower for the industry.
