Pay lands on time and the per diems are accurate, which is more than I can say for my last airline. What wears you down is the standby pattern and how late the changes come through. [demo]

Pros

Safety reporting is taken seriously.

Cons

Days off are theoretical.

Sick leave is not held against you, which matters more than people expect. The trade-off is a roster that assumes you will always be available on days off. [demo]

Pros

Safety reporting is taken seriously.

Cons

Commuting policy is far stricter than it reads.
