Good aircraft, rostering is the problem

First Officer · GVA · Jun 2026

NarrowbodyDirect hire7+ 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

Modern fleet, well maintained.

Cons

Standby patterns are punishing.

Best fleet I have flown, worst crewing department

Captain · GVA · Dec 2025

WidebodySelf-employed7+ yrsDoes not recommend

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

Good route mix, not the same four sectors forever.

Cons

Crewing is unreachable when it matters.

Captain · GVA · Dec 2025

TurbopropAgency7+ yrsDoes not recommend

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

Safety reporting is taken seriously.

Cons

Roster changes constantly, right up to the day.

Great colleagues, exhausting month after month

Cabin Manager · GVA · Apr 2025

TurbopropSelf-employed0-1 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

Pay arrives on time, every month.

Cons

Days off are theoretical.
