Pros

This company is growing and changing almost daily. There is room to move up, if you keep your head down and mouth shut. The flight benefits and persona/healthl benefits are great.

Cons

Upper management has no idea what really goes on in any of the lower levels. Upper management has forgotten the people and airlines that got them to where there are today. There is a huge factor of good 'ole boy system in effect here, where the boys that are friends can do no wrong and have new positions made for them instead of cutting the dead weight. There are no more frills here, no pats on the back, no praise, just a yelling fest.

Pros

Travel benefits on American, United, Delta, jumpseat agreements with other carriers and ID travel on most other airlines including international carriers. Great starting experience and introduction to working in aviation.

Cons

Will hire just about anyone, were hiring by video interviews alone at one time, so quality of people varied. Notorious for base closures, got displaced at least 5 times due to base closures. All bases in Midwest and northeast. In the past most bases were in outstations and noncommutable. Low pay.
