Pros

Free Travel A lot of free time during the off peak season (fall and winter), but still received a base salary. Met new people all the time Worked with new employees on every flight Bid for your schedule Could get incentives to boost your check Pay was pretty good for the actual work you were doing

Cons

Had to work on Holidays, unless you are a senior FA. Had to bid for schedule (could be a good thing or a bad thing) Not a family friendly career Could be on call all night long (sucked) Not a lot of career growth

People, 401k match, flight benefits

Low Pay for Tech, flight benefits for standby are now harder to use. Lots of offshoring. Company does not seem to know where to go. Lowest of the totem pole for airlines.
