Pros

Fun projects, of large magnitude, that have a large influence on the product.

Cons

Airline business is tough.

Low margins.

Frequent periods of financial loss.

Promotions are tough; once into the middle management ranks, promotions can only happen when someone dies or leaves a position.

Advice to Management

Eliminate the current method and formula for bestowing perks. Not eliminate, but the formula should be the same for all employees. Sr. Executives have no more at risk than lower-level employees.
