Pros

American Eagle is one of the Few Airlines that is still hiring at this time while most other airlines are Furloughing Employees. American Eagle seems to continue to Grow .

Cons

You can put in very long hours during your time on duty with Maintence and weather delays which then turn into minimum rest overnights. The scheduled minimum res is 8hours but that is not behind the door of hotel. That is based on when you open the door and the brake is set. This can lead to actually only getting about 5 to 6 hours of actual sleep. \

Pros

There are some truly wonderful people at American. Many care deeply about aviation and have a calling for what they do. The diversity is outstanding. The industry is endlessly fascinating. You are always learning.

Cons

Sadly, the toxicity of my department after we were reorganized. It turned a job I loved into one I dreaded. And management looked the other way while a steady stream of talent exited through the revolving door. I would have done nearly anything for the company. Politics, pettiness and a "mean girls" culture destroyed morale, and the negative behavior was only rewarded. PTO allowance is cheap, making flight benefits great only on paper for your first 5 years of employment.
