Captain · PTY · Aug 2026
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
Good route mix, not the same four sectors forever.
Cons
Days off are theoretical.

Captain · PTY · May 2026
Contract said one thing about days off and the reality is consistently two or three fewer a month. Everything else has been broadly as advertised. [demo]
Pros
Pay arrives on time, every month.
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
Colleagues are excellent and crew rooms are decent.
Cons
Days off are theoretical.

The roster is published on the 25th and changes several times before the month starts. Days off get rostered and then removed at short notice, which makes anything outside work impossible to plan. [demo]
Pros
Pay arrives on time, every month.
Cons
Crewing is unreachable when it matters.

Senior Cabin Crew · PTY · Jun 2025
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
Colleagues are excellent and crew rooms are decent.
Cons
Roster changes constantly, right up to the day.
