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
Roster changes constantly, right up to the day.

Captain · JED · Feb 2026
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
Safety reporting is taken seriously.
Cons
Roster changes constantly, right up to the day.
