American Airlines – “Definitely better of the rest of legacy carriers with respect to morale and benefits, but still lacks on bureaucracy.”

Pros

Relatively higher employee morale than under US Airlines. Great colleagues, a lot of have happily stayed with the company for years (even decades). It is a great company to work to retire esp. because of the only remaining companies with a pension plan and full flight benefits. The culture to give back to society is awesome!

Cons

Being an airline company the profits are low or non-existent and so is the yearly bonus. Since the company is an old legacy company, the overall attitude is very bureaucratic, which communication in layers. Giving back to society is great but asking for donation to wear jeans on Fridays might be too much for some.

Advice to Senior Management

Make this company profitable and remove the layers of bureaucracy.
