Solid contract, the reality does not match it

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

Commuting policy is far stricter than it reads.

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

Safety reporting is taken seriously.

Cons

Standby patterns are punishing.
