[MENTION=78225]UncreativeUser[/MENTION] all I can recommend is, if you want a long stress free career stay away from the job complaint boards.

There are pro and cons here like any company. Pilots love to complain, moreso here than elsewhere because of the ‘nasty’ history between line pilot and the way management has treated them will not be forgotten. Nobody trust them, and rightfully so. Best thing to do as a new guy/girl is to just nod and say “Ummmhmmm, I hear ya” when someone complains about this company. It’s been a wild ride for them and they deserve to vent.

You will read more complaints than positivity in these boards same with the Line when you get there. On these board we all know mgmt folks keep tabs and read what is being said occasionally. APC is not nearly as bad as airlinetalk as a forum/board.

Folks get labeled easily on these boards as well. Mention “this is a great place to work, flow is working” your taunted as mgmt or recruiters. Those who complain are labeled grumpy groots.

Everyone has a opinion, the opinions I personally care most are from those who cared enough to volunteer with ALPA in various positions, those in management positions, and the opinions from the experienced school house members.

The rest who complain so passionately online yet do nothing about it except move their fingers on boards are wheel chair quarterbacks who got funked so hard they still need to vent. Just nod your head and say “Ummhmmm.”

Nothing will make some of these people happy. Even if they flowed, they will find plenty to be grumpy about at AA. Sometimes the best thing to do is not to respond. Pros and cons here. Everyone agrees Rsv rules need to catch up with the times here. It’s below standard. Long call Rsv is over due, as well as better flight files sent to us from AA to build better trips and schedules with. There are many things that need improvement here. But there are also many good things happening and in the works.,

This industry is changing fast. The future of this carrier is still bright. Timing is key. Again welcome aboard, large majority here are all glad to have you.
