Pros

I enjoyed working outdoors instead of in an office. Driving on the ramp with the aircraft, moving cargo around JFK at fast pace is challenging and fun

Cons

Supervision is hostile if they fear your intelligence, education as a threat. Tribalism, favoritism within a certain ethnic group, which the supervisor belongs to, kills morale.

Pros

Learned a lot as an aircraft fueler, my manager at the time recognized my hard work and offered me a lead position. there was plenty of overtime and opportunities to explore different aspects of aircraft fueling. If I could I would definitely return to the company and get into management.

Cons

some employees I worked with made most of my shifts harder than they had to be. the job itself was easy and enjoyable for the time being even with call offs and no shows.
