Pros

Competitive pay scale for pilots. New, technological advanced airplanes. Great route structure that is growing. Should be a secure place to work for years to come.

Cons

HR department is horrible. That is putting it mildly. They made the retirement process very uncomfortable because I had no confidence that they knew what they were doing.

Pros

The travel benefits are excellent, and the job offers opportunities to meet people from all over the world. My coworkers were supportive, teamwork was strong, and no two days were ever the same. The role helped me build confidence, improve customer service skills, and learn how to stay calm under pressure.

Cons

The schedule can be unpredictable, with long duty days, early mornings, late nights, weekends, and holidays away from family. The job can also be physically demanding, and dealing with difficult passengers can be stressful.
