Pros

The flexibility of your schedule as a flight attendant is probably the best perk. Also, the travel benefits are good, if you can find a seat on a flight...they are usually full. We still have a pension and the union will fight to keep it at all costs even though the industry is getting rid of pensions left and right in Bankruptsy.

Cons

Management is completely in the fog about justifying why they need to take million dollar bonuses, but claim they need more givebacks from employees because we can't make a profit. Employees gave back millions of dollars to save the company from bankruptsy...but have received nothing back, even though management takes millions in bonuses every year.

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.
