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.
I’ve found it works wonders by chatting with the gate agent for a minute about their day and walking to the back of the plane and introducing yourself to the flight attendants.
