Pros
Flight benefits Destinations Scheduling freedom Great coworkers most of the time
Cons
Long duty days Jet lag especially east west / west east routes Dealing with outraged and rude public Pilots with gods gift to mankind attitudes Schedulers who brake FAA rules Noisy Hotels Short layovers no chance for 6hrs of sleep Unpaid badly scheduled rotations with 5hrs sit times without hotel accomadition. To many hours in jet full filled airports & aircrafts. Resulting health problems from jet lag/ high altitude/ exposure to sun/ dry air/ Exposure to constant air-conditioning @ airports / hotels. Over glamourized...undignified commercials.
