Does anybody work for any of the 3 major airlines (Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, American Airlines)? Would love to learn more about what work is like at any of the airlines.

I did have an internship offer 2020 for one of the mentioned airlines, but covid canceled it, so I got my career start in a different industry.

I didn’t work for them, but two months ago I got an offer from American Airlines which I rejected. They only offer 10 PTO days and they kept going on and on about flight benefits. Can someone explain me where will I fly if I only have 10 PTO days. They kept leveraging the flight benefit perk to justify the lower salary too. I mean a perk is a perk, I still need a good salary.

I work for one of the companies listed and it’s great. I do tons of weekend trips-my first weekend working at the company I went to Amsterdam for the weekend business class. Aviation is definitely underpaid vs other industries but I can say I definitely flew about 50K worth of flights my first year.

Free flights = biiiiig perk

seriously, I know a lot of people who stick around solely for that

I have a friend who did and they got tons of travel credits and perks but that's about it.

I work for one of the airlines mentioned. The culture is great and there are lots of very smart people. If you don’t want to travel don’t waist your time. For me juggling projects is overwhelming but I do love to travel! What do you love?

I’ve been looking at postings but haven’t seen any that make me ready to make a move. Finding a great manager is a top priority if/when I make a move.

Don’t waist your time and skill. Travel perks are nice to have but as a non revenue traveler it is difficult to get on. You never can plan travel and 10 PTO days for the first 5 years are below average. Not to mention the salary. No bonus and no salary increases if you take on job responsibilities of a higher payed grade. They will tell you you will advance etc. All lip service... I fell for it. 100 + internal applications later I have to pick up the pieces and do a 2nd master to get out of aviation. I have 2 BAs and a double master, was forced to do a entry job and when they need you you have to do the job as a project manager without pay increases or title changes. Run.

I loved the process but it would be really hard for me with the package.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
