American Eagle Airlines Employer Reviews

There is no typical day in the airline industry, you'll see irregular operations almost everyday. You'll learn to work effectively as a team, as you have 20-30 to turn a plane (get all the cargo and passengers off, then put cargo and passengers back on the aircraft). Like any other job there will be co-workers that you will NOT get along and there's – more... others that you make friends with. The most enjoyable part of the job would be the people that you face day in and out, and the flight benefits. If you have the seniority it's great. – less

Run do not apply in Dfw out stations are better Dfw is pure hell!!!! Over worked and very under paid the management doesn't care about the employees. They don't know what they're doing and expect you to know everything!!! I use to love working for this company but now I hate it. Travel benefits aren't worth the hell they put you through. You don't make – more... a lot of money the raises they give are like slaps in the face. I'm full time and don't make 23,000 a year. There's no money in this job. If you have another job they expect you to put this job before that one. – less

Would like to start off by saying that the crew I worked with was like a 2nd family, good people to work with in MOB. This is not a very busy station, agents job in MOB very enjoyable. Problem is with management. Current manager "left" BTR & started managing MOB/PNS in late spring of 2012. Has horrible communication skills, no sense of urgency concerning – more... scheduling(ex: new schedule needed when flight times change, new hires need fitted in, or when short staffed-60+ hrs week), constantly preaching "policy", but when not following policy herself and then questioned about this; comment is "I'm not going to argue with you." I have had that statement made to myself when I observed her not following policy, as well as heard it said to other crew members for various reasons. That would be her "go to" statement for anything you needed to talk to her about that she did not agree with or could not relate to. Upon her arrival to MOB, have had several flight crew members also give negative feed back after learning who new GM was. Spent alittle over 3 years with American Eagle and loved what I did, flight benefits are great especially after 5 years, but that is not enough to compensate for the unprofessionalism and inconsistencies of the current manager(and her puppet). The only thing this manager is consistant at is condraticting herself. – less

You must be VERY flexible to work for this company and be able to adapt to many changes when they come. To work for this company you just need to "know" what you are doing and not necessarily "understand" what you are doing.

Not bad to start your work history, travel privileges are great, I learned to lead others and the hardest part of the job are the overtimes when you need to go to school.

Profitable even through bankrupcy
Minimal furloughs
Currently hiring

All positions are fast paced. You need to multitask and think on your feet. Good Benefits.

Rendered outstanding customer service to passengers traveling to and from all destinations in the United States.
Provided customer with safety information to ensure onboard safety compliance with government and company regulations.
Demonstrated remarkable leadership, direction and assistance during an emergency.

It is never a dull moment working within the airline industry. Most days are high paced and other days seem to drag on. The management is questionable. The co-workers are great. Your bond is knowing that you all know what is "really" going on. The hardest part of the job is probably not being able to help everyone. The most enjoyable is the satisfaction – more... of knowing you try your very best to do a great job. – less

Excellent company, people are nice, and the benefits are very good.

love my day everyday that I am there just working with the people that I work with and the passengers that I have to deal with but so far for the management not that great

A typical day at work is mainly downloading and loading aircrafts at thirty minutes prior to departure. I have learned that if employers are able to work as a team the job will get done in a much safer manner and in a timely fasion. The years I been here I haven't had any problems with management overall it's a good envirement to work in.

Enjoyed working with some of the best friends i've gotten the chance to meet, learning challenging and rewarding work.

Excellent place to work. Co-workers are just like family. Enjoyed working as a Flight Attendant - traveling around the United States, Canada, Mexico and Caribbean. Excellent benefits and flexibility.

Being on reserve is somewhat stressful being that you are literally at the mercy of scheduling. A typical day is usually anywhere from 8 to sometimes 14 hours long with as many flight crammed in there as possible. The crew you are with is hit or miss, but I have been lucky so far. The hardest part of the job is dealing with the traveling public who – more... have no sense or concern for what your day has involved. The most enjoyable part of my job is the flight benefits and discounts on hotels. Management gives the feeling that you are just a number and can be easily replaced. – less

Very tough job. You have to be very physically fit and willing to learn and work hard

This is a horrible job to work and at the Baton Rouge (BTR) location we were constantly understaffed. The (Station Manager) is very unprofessional, doesn't know what she's doing, and is by far the most undereducated person I have ever met when it come to company's policies, procedures, and guidelines. She would report to work from 8am - 4pm and never – more... would help when there would be three or more planes on the ground. When you work at the BTR location, you are working for three airlines; United Airlines, U.S. Airways, as well as American Eagle Airlines (American Airlines). There were many time where we were understaffed because of the Station Manager scheduling and when she would agree to do one thing and you remind her, she would act as if she never said it and she doesn't know what you're talking about. There were many time that the belt loader would breakdown and we would have to get in the bin of the plane by placing a valet cart under the wing of the plane and have a station agent step on to the cart to get in the bin to load the passenger's bags on to the plane. If the FAA or American Airlines Administrators witnessed any of the guidelines and rules that were not followed, I am pretty sure the station manager as well as her supervisor would have been terminated immediately. This job is not worth the stress and you will probably end up injured and with back pains in the future. – less

A Flight Attendant's duties consist of performing or assisting in the areas of service and safety to passengers in-flight and on the ground.

To provide service to passengers and operate cabin equipment, a Flight Attendant must stand, walk, kneel, bend, stoop, stretch, reach, lift moderately heavy objects from the floor to above shoulder level and push and pull equipment. – less
