Let's see - compared to AA first year pay is TWICE as much !!!
I've been here for 7 months and just got back from 15 days of vacation, that was not possible at the big, bad AMR Co. for years.
I'll be off Christmas and New Years - that never happened during the 5 years with AA.
It is fun to go to work and interact with fellow employees - we call them crewmembers. That did not occur at AA or AE ever.
It is fun to deliver a product to our customers (Passengers in everybody's elses lingo) which they actually like. Positive feedback from them - that also did not happen at AMR.
Embracing new tech - laptops with auto-update manuals versus the paperwork nighmare with revisions.
Live TV and XM Radio and future WiFi Internet in flight - after one flight with JetBlue all other airlines seem so outdated.
Free uniforms including Leather Jacket and baggage - ever noticed how sharp we look? Cargo guys take note -our F/A's have to wear High Heels.
Great pilot group - most guys are on their 4th airline and know...

Overall a positive outlook on life, the universe and everything - something you angry, mad at the world, sorry ass union believers never will understand.

So much for now, Happy Thanksgiving.
