Pros
Most of the crews are awesome and most instructors are the same way. Fast upgrade WAS available for those who were hired with-in a short hiring window. That has since slowed was down.
Cons
Well. Let's see here....The company refuses to pay its employees industry standards. The union has tried on multiple occasions to negotiate higher pay scales to meet the industry "status quo". The company has since rejected to accepted any negotiations for greater pay scales. First year pay as an First Officer on reserve is near poverty, figuring understandable cost of living necessities, i.e Rent, Car loan, Student loans, and food. On top of that, the money the company does rightfully owe to its employees is often "Miscalculated" (In the companies favor.) Management and payroll also often "Read between the lines" in the union contract to commit obvious violations in pay, and quality of life for crew members. There is a major Arbitration ruling supposedly being announced later this month or next that has cost hundreds of pilots thousands of dollars. Instead of fixing contractual violations and bringing pay up to industry standards the company focuses on false advertisement in the recruitment field, falsely advertising our AA flow agreement, profit sharing and many others that are boasted up by management to create smoke and mirrors in order to reel in new pilots. The Flow is only at 5 a month which puts a new hire pilot on the backside of a 1200 pilot group at 18+ years to flow....not exactly what they are advertising. They speak of a growing airline but yet our attrition is exceeding our hiring capabilities for pilots.
