Pros

I love working with my fellow employees. It's a very diverse crowd. It's a great experience.

Cons

Very little compensation for your responsibility. Management wants more and more from you and wants to give you less and less. AMR and newly formed AAG keep reporting about all the profits rolling in, yet the compensation for employees is atrocious, especially for regional flying.

Advice to Management

Here is a clue for you. Regional flying is a necessity to operations. The aircraft go through more cycles than the larger aircraft. They require more work from both maintenance and flight crews.

Current MOD at ORD seems more interested in how he can screw you and ruin morale than fix problems. The common adage there is that morale don't fix airplanes. Well, let me tell you, bad morale fixes them a lot slower.
