Flight Attendant

Pros

Fun company with about 100 flight attendants, international destinations and layovers from the first day, only Boeing 737-800 aircraft now, everyone is based in Miami, easy to get along with other colleagues, lots of empty ferry flights and commericaling to meet the aircraft which brings in ton of airline points and hotel points! Miami Air is a member of the AFA Union which is working on better pay and a better contract for Flight Attendants.

Cons

First off is pay, it is under $20 the first year which is a hard starting pay in Miami, a few aircraft in the fleet are old, they need to work on modernizing the fleet faster than what they are. Need new inflight supervisors, they are stuck in the old Pan Am/Eastern days, we need new unique uniforms that other charter airlines don't use, summer season is somewhat slow which brings in minimum pay, BUT this is a great airline to start out in, you'll see and experience places that a commercial airline will never bring you, if you come here only stay for a couple years, it is not a long term career company if you're looking to make lots of money like at a commercial airline. Gossiping is a issue, but it is a small company so just watch what you say to other colleagues, be smart about what you do during layovers and off time, the aviation industry is very small. Minimum flight benefits, only good one is JetBlue or maybe Spirit/Frontier.

Pilot

Pros

They Type you in B-737 as required by Part 117. GREAT place to fly if under the new Latino chief pilot, otherwise life can be really miserable. Because of continuous losses of veteran pilots getting real flying jobs, they start using check ride failure as a mean of pilot retention preventing them to apply elsewhere. Be extremely skeptical of initial promises and positive projections. Good place if you have only 1500hours and just starting your flying career otherwise you can do easily MUCH better elsewhere.

Cons

3 year Training contract instead of the standard 1 or 2. Management often taking hostile stand toward Pilots trying to improve quality of life and pay which is one of the LOWEST in the industry. EXTREMELY "political" environment, having the few selected pilots doing very well with good trips and extra pay at the expense of the rest. Can become very frustrating also because the IBT Union is totally powerless. They are just good on deducting their monthly dues, no much else. New contract on the way but focused to improve conditions for Captains; First Officers are just considered "seat warmers" and replaceable NOT as "Captain in training". Very humiliating at times. Let's not mention the Bonus policies. Management get 100% of their yearly salary while the rest only crumbs. And no means to even verify the real profit amount since is still a "privately owned" company not required to disclose their books. Good luck.
