Pros

Good travel benefits.

Standard health benefits and 401k.

Cons

American Eagle Airlines at LGA has no hangar, so all work is performed outside.

Base pay is $12.94 (not a typo), and with an A&P license, you get a $3 "boost" to $15.94 (also not a typo).

They offer a whopping $0.25/hr "incentive" to work 2nd shift and a hefty $0.45/hr to slave on 3rd shift.

Pay is non-negotiable due to it being a union shop. So, even though I have over 10 years of experience, it doesn't matter.

Advice to Management

Your pay is insulting. I made more money working at a pet store...

And at the pet store, I wasn't entrusted with the safety and repair of aircraft. Scary.
