Pros

I love that I am home every night. I am Oakland based so seniority there is easily achieved. Love most of my co workers. First year pay jump is the biggest in the industry. Mostly quick turns. Good experience for first time Flight Attendants.

Cons

If you are delayed, you are getting paid $1/hr. CEO Maury Gallegher doesn't value his Flight Attendants and does not want us there more than 5 years. He doesn't agree being a flight attendant is a career. Although being home every night is sweet, it costs me more money especially the hour and 20 min. commute I do one way... without traffic.. can't afford to live in the Bay Area. My days are long (anywhere from 12-18 hours long on average... Plus only getting your regular pay at 4-8 of those hours) If you are delayed, you're spending money on food, drinks etc. but only getting paid that $1/hr on the ground, so loosing money. Pay and benefits are below industry standards and CEO Maury will fight till the end. Our first union contract was an insult and only 90 pages of vague information.

Pros

You would have a varied schedule.

Cons

You work a flight and immediately turn back around to go back. You're on the plane all day. There's no time to step off.the plane to get food or snacks or just to walk around.
