Pros

The best reasons to work for American Eagle is that you do get some wonderful flight benefits. You can use the benefits to fly anywhere American Eagle or American Airlines flies and that's just about anywhere in the world. I have to admit, if I hadn't been a flight attendant, there is a lot I would not have seen so far.

Cons

Flight attendants sometimes have to work really long days...especially when the weather is bad. I've had some days that were so long we were almost grounded for going over our max number of hours allowed to work by the FAA. The really short overnights are a bummer and most of them are anymore. There isn't always enough time to check out the cities you're overnighting in. And really early kick-off flights suck!

Pros

People, 401k match, flight benefits

Cons

Low Pay for Tech, flight benefits for standby are now harder to use. Lots of offshoring. Company does not seem to know where to go. Lowest of the totem pole for airlines.
