Pros
Space A Travel. Thats about it
Cons
Poor management. High turnover rate. Lack of communication. Poor pay in comparison to other airlines. Unrealistic expectations w little to no resources. Management unwilling to go to bat for good employees.
Advice to Senior Management
Take better care of the assets you hire and train. You can only blame the employee for so long before you have to look in the mirror and realize your management style leaves you constantly filling holes in your operation.
Pros
Travel benefits, flexible hours (part-time), meet lots of great people.
Cons
Unrealistic policies do not make it feasible to balance work/life. Salaries are low but competitive for the industry.
Advice to Senior Management
Need to revise several company policies. Listen to employee feedback and actually make some of the changes.
Pros
Some of the best reasons to work for AirTran Airways are the flying benefits, 401k, Medical and Dental and the pay rate increases every six months. You're guaranteed about a $2.00 raise per year.
Cons
Working long hours can be exhausting.
Advice to Senior Management
Better communication with employees, so that there's a better understanding of what goes on throughout the company.
Pros
Stable airline with a lot of potential. The hiring people are very friendly. Everyone here wants you to do well. The benefits aren't bad, although a lot of people complain about the health insurance. If you live in Atlanta it's a very easy commute and a great airline to work for.
Cons
Instability of the airline industry, a lot of young pilots, you'll never get seniority. Unfortunately, our pilot contract has been amendable for nearly 4 years. It's difficult to resolve in this economy.
Advice to Senior Management
really try to work out the financial issues. Please work out the pilot contract!
Pros
Still has a small airline feel to it.
Cons
Southwest style productivity, Lorenzo style management.
Advice to Senior Management
Take a cue from Southwest. Your employees are your most valued asset, not a liability. They can do more to serve the customer and generate revenue than anything else you can think up.
