Pros and cons are all personal. I’ll come at it from a commuter experience that prefers QoL way before money.
Number one by far for me is seniority. It truly is the key to increasing QoL or money or both. Everything after that is a distant second. A diversity of aircraft and flying. There is something for everyone. Lots of Crashpad options. Transportation to/from airports is pretty easy. Multiple airports serviced by multiple carries.
Cons: it’s NYC. Dealing with the traditional NY mentality is tiring but now just becoming entertaining. You have to cover multiple airports. I’m sure there is more but the seniority out weighs almost everything else.
