      Working for American Eagle provides solid stability at the cost of slow career advancement.

      Pros

      Working for a stable company with a parent company that has never gone bankrupt is comforting in a wild industry that has made little overall profit over the decades.

      Cons

      It takes 8-10 years to progress from a first officer to captain, with many senior captains electing to make a career at this airline. This career mindset represents good work rules, benefits, and pay, however progression for the newer guys is limited unless you're looking at a decade time scale. You must be satisfied with $35,000-$50,000 per year as a first officer, than you can progress to the low six figures when you finally attain captain status.

      This once great airline needs new leadership -- leadership that understands people and has a vision for the future.

      Pros

      It's a job. The company has the infrastructure and employees in place to be great again with the right leadership.

      Cons

      An arrogant and condescending management team that favors absolute control and intimidation over a healthy, productive work environment. Everything is about establishing and maintaining leverage over the employees. Do not come here for fulfillment.
