AMEN!!!!!
The whole AAI experience is like trying to describe an ocean to someone who has never seen one. Anyone who has been with a "real" airline will get their eyes opened with what goes on at AAI.
I can't agree more about putting up $$$$ for a type rating. Again, they'll drop you like a hot potato for just about anything. The "contract" is entirely one sided and not worth the paper it's printed on.
The real sad thing is AAI could be a great place. Plenty of different types of flying, great people (especially the expats). But it's not. They are always playing games. If you ask a question you will never get a truthful answer. It is impossible.
I can't stress the fact if there is another job out there take it. Otherwise go for AAI but keep your CV active and bolt at the first change you get!!!!!
