Management listens on safety, nothing else

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

Pay arrives on time, every month.

Cons

Days off are theoretical.

Great colleagues, exhausting month after month

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

Good route mix, not the same four sectors forever.

Cons

Standby patterns are punishing.
