Solid contract, the reality does not match it

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

Standby patterns are punishing.

Upgrade came on time, everything else slipped

Captain · SLC · Jan 2026

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

Modern fleet, well maintained.

Cons

Commuting policy is far stricter than it reads.
