Captain · AUH · May 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
Good route mix, not the same four sectors forever.
Cons
Commuting policy is far stricter than it reads.

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
Modern fleet, well maintained.
Cons
Roster changes constantly, right up to the day.

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
Standby patterns are punishing.

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
Colleagues are excellent and crew rooms are decent.
Cons
Crewing is unreachable when it matters.
