Every pilot group deals with variations of the same BS. Stagnation and furloughs and drug-out contract negotiations certainly can lead people to feeling bitter, and with good reason - thankfully now neither AA or UPS is dealing with that.
It ain't all sunshine and rainbows in SDF, and the job ain't for everybody...but it also isn't exactly the indentured servitude some on here would lead others to believe. The compensation & benefits are excellent (thanks IPA!) and worthy of a look by anyone - but if you're 85% or higher at AA with the retirements looming you have, that seems like a sizable risk.
JMHO
Not trying to be insulting or anything.
I've just known a few-and generally they seemed unhappy.
The pay is good, the schedules and mgmt are hard to deal with-so I hear.
