Currently I'm a MSS L3 in Airport Ops and I've been working on getting a L4. Earlier this year, my team got a new manager and in our early 1:1, we agreed that I'm ready to be promoted and he'd be comfortable after seeing my work for about a month. In our year end last week and after a month, he shared that one I was ready to be promoted but because the team's direction is going to pivot to include change management, I wouldn't get promoted unless I stayed for one year in a change management role. I'm at a loss here because everytime I'm ready to get promoted, the team either gets reorged or pivots. I think I have four options: 1. Get the growth opportunity with change management and wait another year to get promoted 2. Lateral to a different team with (hopefully) more stability 3. Interview internally for a L4 on a different team 4. Leave American Airlines I understand the promotion freeze in 2020 and my role changed between 2020 & 2021 to PM from Strategy, which felt like a good career growth opportunity.
Honestly leave American. I am assuming your TC is around 90-100k. Unless you are passionate about airlines and want to work there or you are super happy with you role then move on. You will be easily making 130-140k on an average if you try outside. American leadership never stays on its words
I ended up leaving after my manager kept kicking the promotion can down the road after 6 months. Definitely much happier at a different company and outside the microcosm of the AA life and culture. Base comp +20% increase (excl. potential merit and bonus)
