Pros: infinitely more support (dispatch, mx, logistics, flight attendants, scheduling, ASAP program, union)...a clear set of rules (SOP) that people just follow rather than make up as they go along...never having to explain to the boss why the airplane needed maintenance or why you can’t go there/can’t afford that plane/can’t do that leg nonstop/couln’t fit all his golf clubs/couldn’t find a seafood platter in Tulsa...never having to guess what/if/when your pay raise will be...travel benefits for you and your family rather than “you got to spend last week in Kalamazoo”...REAL time off...control of your schedule without having to take vacation...never caring how much it costs to de-ice or how much that part costs or will that MEL expire while we are away from base...and on and on and on...
Cons: buying your own beer
