Pretty much my experience with this company after almost a year of being here. I really wanted to love this place. Honestly, I'm grateful to be here, but don't come here thinking you are going to be working at a major. This is not a major airline in terms of how crews get treated and paid. In a lot of ways, many regionals have way better contracts and get treated better. Captains can actually be captains, and not yes men.
As far as the travel benefits. I was shocked to learn that you get charged to fly on Mint as a non rev. Most airlines don't even charge their wholly owned regionals to fly in business even on international flights. Just shows the kind of culture here. Again, I am happy to be here because I had no job security at my previous job, but the apps are out there and I'll be hitting the job fairs in the spring.
