Pros

The people I work with, and the ability to travel.

Cons

I have been a flight attendant for over 30 years, I was originally hired by Piedmont Airlines, which merged with USAir which became US Airways which merged with American Airlines in 2015. In all my years flying I never would have thought that AA was so badly run. I am preparing for our next bankruptcy. In particular management is awful to the flight attendant group. They care nothing about the health and welfare of their frontline employees. They have recently imposed a sick policy on the flight attendants where every time you call in sick you get a point, once you rack up 10 points you are terminated. It is interesting that as a flight attendant you are directly in contact with sick people, body fluids, recirculating air in the aircraft etc. yet we have the harshest attendance policy of all groups. The pilot group has no sick policy whatsoever, they call in sick and it is no problem. I could go on and on. I love being a flight attendant, however, I HATE THIS COMPANY.

Pros

People, 401k match, flight benefits

Cons

Low Pay for Tech, flight benefits for standby are now harder to use. Lots of offshoring. Company does not seem to know where to go. Lowest of the totem pole for airlines.
