AAI offers little or no qaulity family time.
If you take the time off then it is without pay.
Not many of us can afford that.
If you are single and like to move around quite a bit then it may be for you.
I left AAI many months ago, what happened to the new and inproved contract that was being offered?
This without a salary reductoin would have stopped most of the high turn over.
A happy crewmember spending a little time with the family would have boosted moral quite a bit and also benifited the company.
But staying away from home for months at a time and only returning without pay to see your family was really bad.
When they strat screwing around with the family life after months away from home it makes the rest of the problems you are forced to do a no go issue.
No per diem or expences either.For someone new in the industry and building time this is a good place to be.
But if you are married, have to pay your bills and stay there then count on the worst.
Its really sad a little creative scheduling and a small increase in giving the crews this time off would be the best for all involved.
But the bean counters dont see it that way.
