Pros
-flexible schedules (sometimes) -other airline travel benefits
Cons
-management: inexperienced, often unavailable, inconsistent -payroll issues: you have to triple check often -no sick time; use your pto, go unpaid or work sick. often results as an "occurrence" even with doctor's certification instructing you not to work -scheduling issues: insufficient bodies, operations crumble during weather events or other operational events, no support & no wiggle room to make executive decisions for your own safety w.o consequence -company expects grace, but does not reciprocate it in times of need -6 scheduled on-call days/month but everyday feels like you're on call the way scheduling does reroutes. You're often dragged around the world, extremely extended days, short rest periods, flown into off days and barely compensated -senior staff get away with some absurd stuff and mistreat junior staff -lots of microaggressions; pretty hostile work environment -planes are filthy and not well maintained, a lot of mechanical issues and often a lack of supplies
