1.0

Great colleagues, exhausting month after month

First Officer · BGY · Mar 2026

Regional jetAgency3-7 yrsDoes not recommend

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

Standby patterns are punishing.

2.0

Fine if you live at base, brutal if you commute

First Officer · GLA · Dec 2025

NarrowbodySelf-employed1-3 yrsDoes not recommend

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

Roster changes constantly, right up to the day.
