This is correct. I talk to military pilots contemplating AA and hear things about our “toxic culture”. I have to explain that the term doesn’t apply to working with other crew, gate agents, rampers etc, but is a term used to describe the relationship between the union and management. We are in negotiations for a contract, no one is going to say how great management is right now, nor should they. As a day to day job, it’s great gig, and even better if you happen to like living in one of our domiciles. I commute and love this job, I’d love the job at every other major though too, I’m sure.
