Free flights for your immediate family.
Great pay.
Great health benefits.
Insanely good 401k match (currently 9%).
Terrible relationship between unions and company.
The TWU and IAM unions have a complex relationship that no one seems to fully understand.
Poor communication between upper management and workers.
Non-user-friendly computer systems in dire need of being updated.
Ask employees what you can do to improve productivity. As a mechanic, there have been several occasions where I'm just "waiting on parts to come in."
I work in Tulsa, the largest maintenance base in the world. There is no reason I should have to wait an entire shift to receive something as trivial as paint. In many cases, I can order something from another station and get it faster than if I were to order it from my own location.
You pay me a lot of money while I'm just sitting around waiting on parts. Wake up! Our customers need us to do this more efficiently!
