I've been here nearly a decade and looking to leave the first chance I get.
I'd say one of the few positives is the gateway basing system. However, factor in, many times you will leave the house before the sun rises, catch your airline and fly a couple legs day one; then on your last day you will fly a couple legs airline home getting in well into the evening or just before midnight, commuting doesn't look that bad.
Most of the guys/girls you will fly with are good people. There are a few rejects that got hired along the way and if you get stuck with them for 7 days it can be miserable, but you can get that anywhere.
I will also say that in my time here I've never been questioned for a fatigue call, mx issue, or a wx event where I didn't feel comfortable flying. However, there are rumors abound that isn't always the case anymore.
Everything else that used to be good like crew food and hotels have deteriorated in quality. Upgrade, forget about it, I probably wont see one for another 5 years.
Our fairly new management team has made it difficult for all departments to operate the company. The environment is so antagonistic and toxic it can make your head spin. Out of one side of managements mouth they love to tout our abilities as pilots but then they turn around and say we should SUBSIDIZE our passengers travel by taking pay cuts and concessions! ***!?!?
