Pros

AA offers schedule flexibility as needed. Additionally, the flight benefits are nice to have, but unfortunately, not useful in this day and age because employees cannot find a seat on any flights.

Cons

AA does not recognize employees as well as it should. Additionally, the airline is ran by MBAs vs committed people who live and breath the airline industry. When things get tough, the MBAs run for more lucrative jobs, while the diehard airliners are left behind to clean the mess.

People, 401k match, flight benefits

Low Pay for Tech, flight benefits for standby are now harder to use. Lots of offshoring. Company does not seem to know where to go. Lowest of the totem pole for airlines.
