American airlines work
Fleet Service Clerk (Current Employee), San Jose, CA – May 17, 2013
Pros: flexibilty of hours
Cons: took pay, benefits, and retirement.
The job was a great job for many years. It went down hill after the 9/11 attacks. We lost benefits, pay, and retirement. The physical part of the job is the hardest part. The best part of the job was the flexibility with the hours and working extra hours. The travel is nice too.

challenging and stimulating work environment
flight attendant (Former Employee), Miami, FL – May 14, 2013
Pros: travel
Cons: sleep was short-changed at times
American Airlines actually trained me to be an adult in much the same way the Army does with their soldiers. We worked off of a 24 hr clock and punctuality and flexibility were key to our day. No two days were ever the same and that brought its own challenges. We (crew) traveled for days together and a camaraderie would develop. It was a great job!

Fun working in the airline industry
Flight Operations Manager (Former Employee), Chicago, IL – May 3, 2013
Pros: discount travel
Cons: health benefits reduced due to operational costs (fuel prices).
American Airlines was a fun place to work at the time with the culture and dynamic that are not compared to no other job. Operations started at 0400 , planned flights arrive, ground crews, agents, flight attendants, gate agents all need to coordinate to receive each and every flight safely ensuring a coordinated timed on time performance on the in bound – more... and out flight portion. Multitasking is a must! Employees are great to work with from every level and every station, a lot happens in such a short time. The hardest part of the job would definitely be bad weather conditions and trying to maintain a safe on time performance, I myself love a challenge and it made it easier for me to give 100% of myself to ensure that it happened. – less

AA Management has run it into the ground
A & P Mechanic (Current Employee), Denver, CO – April 20, 2013
AA could survive if they get new management. The current CEO has mismanaged the company and left it broke.

Fast Paced environment with lots of learning essentials
Reservations Operations Specialist (Current Employee), Trinidad – April 15, 2013
Pros: great team work, flights, flexible schedule
Cons: off schedule interruptions and delays in calls
Working for American Airlines has thought me a lot in terms of time management, dealing with different attitudes and overcoming the fear of coaching people.

My day at work comprises of fun people in a welcoming environment who come out to assist customers in their day to day travel plans. In doing so, we are proud to excel and contribute to the overall – more... satisfaction for all our internal and external stakeholders. – less

Large enough to employee many really good people.
Aviation Maintenance Technician (Former Employee), Hurst, TX – April 12, 2013
Pros: large company with many areas of expertise.
Cons: the consolidation of the industry has caused reduction in size.
The experiences we all have in life are what one makes of it. The amount of training and experience received in my my sixteen years was tremendous. Qualified on seven different fleet types, worked three separate bases, and nine different work areas was an experience of a lifetime.
