Solid contract, the reality does not match it

Captain · AMS · Aug 2026

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.

Fine if you live at base, brutal if you commute

First Officer · ORY · Jun 2026

NarrowbodyDirect hire7+ yrsRecommends

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

Commuting policy is far stricter than it reads.
