AA is a kingdom of mediocrity. If you are smart, ambitious and energetic, don't work here. - Senior Analyst American Airlines Employee Review

It is a very elitist culture. If you don't have an MBA from a Top Ten school you will be treated like a red headed stepchild and your Advancement opportunities will be limited. Your experience is not valued, only where you went to school. MBAs get frequent promotions while the people with experience have to watch and not participate. Managing Directors openly criticize the union employees in meetings, very unprofessional. MBA managers share limited information with employees as they feel threatened that lower level employees will know more than they do.
