I can’t talk too much about training, but as a forever-junior CA, expect incredibly minimal QOL. You’re guaranteed 11 days off, so expect that. Our grids are so red, if I were a DEC, I wouldn’t expect to go a single day without being used for something. You can do airport standby (hot) 8 times a month, no more than three days in a row. Expect that too, it’ll be (up to) 8 hours enjoying the sights of an airport.
You’ll get PIC time, but I’d be absolutely sure that it’s all you need to get an interview and get out, because for most, it’s an unsustainable pain.
