Pros

Little if any overtime, flight privileges are ok (used to be better), pay great if you are an MBA, Dallas has low cost of living compared to other cities

Cons

If you are hired as an MBA you are fine; if not, you are not fine. There's a definite 'them and us' mentality which is constantly perpetuated through salary, promotions etc. Prior experience is not valued, but going to the right school is - the better the name the better your prospects. Work not usually complex and expectations are low. Plus, the airline industry doesn't exactly have the best prospects going forward.
