I am a hardcore AMer and am starting to think that many on this forum must be PMers. I do think there is a difference there. PM seems subject to more delays and reroutes. I have been here 7 years and have only been JAd maybe 4 times.
If you really want to know how life here is - this is not the place to ask.
Im an only PMer and don’t subscribe to the complainers. Honestly rarely get in after 2300 and only been JAd 3 times but never flew any of them. Lots and lots of things to fix at this place but management doesn’t care nor do they care about the employees or their thoughts on anything. As long as the institutionals are happy they will continue on as planned.
Most of the systemic issues have been discussed already. Management doesn’t care to spend the money to fix them. Luckily I could care less if they fix anything. I make more every time they screw up and I’m only a phone call away from going home at any time. You work longer days than competitors but get more days off.
As long as your identity is not wrapped up in what you do and where you work, it’s doable. If you have an airplane picture up in your house and a model on your desk, you most likely will not enjoy the experience here.
Long term survival is assured. I can almost guarantee that because the American public has not punished the airline for its Xmas meltdown. If they don’t get punished from that they know they have the hook set on the chumps.
