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
Crewing is unreachable when it matters.

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
Good route mix, not the same four sectors forever.
Cons
Roster changes constantly, right up to the day.
