Cliff notes for you:

The good?

Awesome crews
Great equipment
Fun overnights
At times gateway travel is nice when it works on the day you start

The bad?

Terrible contract
Scheduling dept that will make any other airline's look genius
17 day schedules for the rest of your career
Attrition is a huge problem and getting worse
Zero support for the line pilot


It has potential to be a career airline but currently isn't. Who knows what the next contract will bring, but count on the one we work under being what you make your decision off. Currently hiring into both planes but it should slowly be only into the 767 eventually. Pay is better than a regional but the company is still run like it has 300 pilots, so it's frustrating. No trip swaps or drops, lose pay for training mid trip, and LOTS of no transportation or hotel reservations are a few highlights. It's a really fun job but probably not a top 10 career choice at this point unless you only have a few years left.
