Pros
Reasonably safe work environment on aircraft. Generally great employees, despite semi-dedicated new-hires. 4% match 401k. Flexibility that increases with seniority.
Cons
Despite CEO's public emphasis on "values" and supposed respect for "the best professionals in the airline industry", worker pay remains stagnant, any pay increases offset by such tactics as lessening of profit sharing percentages. And despite CEO Anderson's rhetoric, flight attendants for the world's largest airline receive an industry standard low for pay scales while Anderson simultaneously accepts, this year, a 42% pay raise. If you don't take care of your employees, you end up getting what you pay for. Flight benefits are moot when there are no seats on over-utilized aircraft.
