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
Modern fleet, well maintained.
Cons
Standby patterns are punishing.

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