If walking down the terminal in a blazer and hat turns you on this job may not be for you. If you struggle to sleep 6-8 hours during a daytime layover this job may not be for you.
The cons- you will definitely do night hub turns and fly the backside of the clock. That's not for everyone. The pros- too numerous to list. Some of my favorites after 2 years here: NO PAX, making enough money to live comfortably and support my family and all of our hobbies, flying big planes that are impeccably maintained in wide open airspace with a black towncar always waiting to whisk me to the hotel.
I have never felt as respected as an airline pilot as I do here. Sure, every job has stuff to complain about, but here it is really rather trivial. For reference, I fly the 757 and am able to hold very commutable lines and for the last several months have been able to hold weekends near my house. Good luck!
