American Airlines – “American Airlines: Toxic Corporate Culture”

Pros

The ONLY reason to stay, is that this is a seniority based career (Pilot). If you join another company, you lose all seniority, and literally start at the very bottom. Even with that, there are a growing number of AA pilots leaving for other opportunities, something absolutely unthinkable in the past...

Cons

Toxic management practices. Complete disrespect for employees. Management taking millions of dollars in 'performance" bonuses, while the company is losing money, the stock is falling, and the line employees are enduring massive paycuts. I'm making less than I was as a copilot fifteen years ago. Management thinks drastically cutting maintenance & training costs are a good thing to do. Do you?

Advice to Senior Management

Treat your employees as you would like to be treated...
