Solid contract, the reality does not match it

Captain · AMS · Aug 2026

TurbopropAgency3-7 yrsRecommends

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.

Fair pay, no roster stability at all

Captain · AMS · Feb 2026

WidebodySelf-employed7+ 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

Colleagues are excellent and crew rooms are decent.

Cons

Days off are theoretical.

Great colleagues, exhausting month after month

Senior Cabin Crew · BCN · Jan 2026

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

Pay arrives on time, every month.

Cons

Standby patterns are punishing.
