Pros

Flag carrier Health benefits Standby travel (Sometimes) Some bright minds Environmental adherence Theoretical attempts to grow

Cons

Highly political, very challenging to grow Unionized environment - high friction Poor hiring standards for many front-line employees. Large room to grow, not properly utilized Internal resentment between front-line and management Frequent changes and shifts in strategic views Very volatile to market fluctuations, political and economic changes Too many old-guard mentalities care about job security more than growth Saturated monopolistic comfort zone New ideas and perspectives are seen as threats Periodic labour force layoffs Thin profit margin Frequent cost-cutting measures Conservative employee and corporate growth measures Standby travel is very competitive and challenging - in many cases does not worth it
