American Airlines – “Its too bad”

Pros

The travel and travel benefits can't be beat. The culture lends itself to great work life balance too. The bnefits are not bad and the people I worked with are great.

Cons

The MBA program is killing the company. To many highly educated do nothings who get all the opportunities. The pay is also low compared to averages within my peer circles. Also, considering the great travel benefits, there is very limited time (vacation) to use them. I really liked working at American but didn't feel I could stay around if I wanted a longer career with opportunities. Also, the issues with unions was always a constant negative.

Advice to Senior Management

Beg the goverment to re-regulate the industry.
