So to summarize the negatives, we have:

Low pay
Lack of duty rig
145 schedules are inefficient and suck, which makes it difficult to break guarantee because see above
145 reserve times suck
Airport standby

And I’ll add: flow not guaranteed for new hires, to appease those waiting in the wings with their tinfoil hats and FUPM foam fingers.

What else do you want people to know?

Also, I’d be 145. Not a cadet, no prior 121, and I’m not that old. So no 175 for me.
