Fatigue reports get acknowledged and then closed with no change. Safety reports are handled properly, so it is clearly a crewing problem rather than a culture problem, but that does not help when you are on your fourth…
Pros
Safety reporting is taken seriously.
Cons
Crewing is unreachable when it matters.

Upgrade timelines were roughly what I was told at interview. Commuting policy is the thing to check carefully before you sign, because it is much stricter in practice than the contract implies. [demo]
Pros
Pay arrives on time, every month.
Cons
Commuting policy is far stricter than it reads.
