Pros

Flight benefits are great and getting better. Good Medical/Dental. Fair pay with longevity.

Cons

Some middle management tries to manage through fear and intimidation. Decisions are made without enough consultation with the people who do and know the job. They want to bust the union

Pros

The travel benefits are excellent, and the job offers opportunities to meet people from all over the world. My coworkers were supportive, teamwork was strong, and no two days were ever the same. The role helped me build confidence, improve customer service skills, and learn how to stay calm under pressure.

Cons

The schedule can be unpredictable, with long duty days, early mornings, late nights, weekends, and holidays away from family. The job can also be physically demanding, and dealing with difficult passengers can be stressful.
