Pros

Unfortunately nothing is worth sticking around anymore

Cons

The mechanics who actually care get overloaded day after day while the mechanics who love to pencil whip talk their way out of hard jobs. Upper management is spineless and takes advantage of you. Ever single the new VP of maintenance took over, they have sucked every single bit of enjoyment out of the company. You are overworked and underpaid. The funniest part about being underpaid is you pay the same union dues as mainline who makes exponentially more for drastically less work. Local management is outdated and loves to belittle others. In CLT, they have started a shuttle system which adds over a hour of UNPAID work to our already 13.5 hour days. They have a group of trainers who are called MTIs that treat you like you’re scum for coming to them with questions, which is the whole point of their job. I cannot give a single positive answer to this company anymore. They don’t care about you.

Pros

Great Company to work for. PSA is very invested in their people and push people to be their very best and allow for growth/opportunities. Charlotte has really brought on a new culture and a Team environment.

Cons

Work environment is very fast paced with high expectations

Pros

-Travel benefits are great; you get the same perks as mainline. -If you live in one of their bases, it's convenient if you get assigned to that base -Same uniform as mainline AA -Very easy training, only 4 weeks. Not hard to ace the tests and drills, especially if you pay attention

Cons

-The pay is extremely low -You barely have time and money to use those travel benefits -You need to pick up more hours or an extra job to make ends meet -FAs are not paid well enough -Crew scheduling can be very challenging -They make you pay for your uniforms in your first year, which is a thousand plus dollars (pay is low enough, you still need to shoulder the expensive uniform)
