Pros

Complicated pay scheme is good for the time spent on duty. The spareboard gaurantee is beneficial at low activity levels (3-4 days off), but ONLY if you maintain your availability. Great pension if you're one of the 10% who stay that long.

Cons

You never know when a string of slow days will come together, so planning for family excursions is 90% out of the question. Random/inconsistent call times unless you work a lower paying 5day/week assignment. Maintaining the gaurantee means you're available for a 2hr call notice. Personal commitments of 2+ days is only gauranteed once per month. Spontaneity & resilience is required. Relationships become distant.
