Pros
flying airplanes, my great fellow employees, a great company with a great bit of history and the potential to do great things and have a bright future. I could be very proud again to fly for United Airlines if this company had a real leader and visionary at the helm.
Cons
it used to be a real career, but as long as things don't change drastically for the better, it's only a job. it's very sad for me to make such a statement,very sad. I used to be so very proud to be a United Pilot, but the last seven or so years of being treated like the enemy, being disregarded and not valued for any efforts, that just about did it. I fly my plane with top performance and motivation, that's what aviators do. For the company: they get job performance, not career performance. I used to promote United out of pride, now I only do it if you pay me for it... until you give me a reason to be proud again to fly for United.
