Pros

If you like to fly and enjoy the flight benefits then it makes sense to work for American, especially if you like to fly international or have family abroad. Also, if you like to analyze everything then this would be an ideal place for you to work!

Cons

If you are a forward thinker, then you may get frustrated by the "we have always done it this way" answer to everything! It's definitely about who you know and not what you know, so the best networkers will advance, while the most talented go undiscovered, unnoticed, and unappreciated!

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.
