Fair pay, no roster stability at all

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

Modern fleet, well maintained.

Cons

Commuting policy is far stricter than it reads.

Fine if you live at base, brutal if you commute

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

Colleagues are excellent and crew rooms are decent.

Cons

Roster changes constantly, right up to the day.
