[QUOTE="HackerF15E, post: 1361002, member: 9689"] Question about AA, if you might indulge me. This year I had the opportunity to display a T-38 at Oshkosh AirVenture, right on AeroShell Square where all the big pedestrian traffic is. Standing in front of a jet in a flight suit allows you to talk to all sorts of people, including tons of airline pilots. As I'm considering a jump to the airlines after my military career is over, I conducted a straw poll of all the airline pilots I talked to during the week, asking the simple question, "would you recommend I apply at your airline?". The results were very telling -- [U]there was not one single AA pilot who recommended I apply to AA.[/U] In fact, their reaction to the question was particularly negative, and always punctuated by a follow-on diatribe about what kind of a company it is and how they treat their people. There were no other airlines which had this uniform dislike from their employees like this. What is the story here? I understand AA has had labor infighting issues with the TWA acquisition a decade ago, but is there more to it? Sorry to bring airline issues to a shooting board, but perhaps the change of venue would enable a different kind of conversation. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
