Equipment is good, always clean.
FA's are top notch, hard working. Gate agents, not so much.
Unless doing 717, you'll likely talk on the radios for :45.. Hit that CPDLC button once and veg out for 4 hrs until it's time to land.
Pretty much all VFR flying for a majority of the year.. You may hit a 500' overcast ceiling once a year.
Most likely short upgrade times for the next few years atleast.
Living in Hawaii can be a perk OR a negative. Especially when you see your peers at other airlines in a 4000sqft pool home, with a boat and a lake house while you're paying $1.3million+ for a home that would maybe cost $200k everywhere else. Then there are the schools, homeless, and infrastructure.
