Pros

Pay and benefits are ok. Not great but ok.

Cons

Old-style commuter airline culture left over from 20 years ago. Chief pilots are just a bit slimy and the ALPA contract, which is the worst ALPA contract I've ever seen, gets stretched and contorted constantly. The training department is inept, anrro, anti-pilot, and thumps its chest with all the failures it dishes out. Blind leading the blind, usually.

Advice to management

American Mainline should clean house on Piedmont management and simply bring in new, more educated people. Pull this airline out of the muck.

Advice to future employees

If you need to build time, this isn't the worst place to do it. Not the best, either.
