Some will argue that NK is a stepping stone. But, I would argue the QOL here is hard to compare to sitting in XYZ base on reserve and maybe not get used. Great if you live in that base, ****ty if not.
don’t think classes were ever limited to 20. Mine a year ago had 27. Also people don’t leave here because of better qol. It’s better pay and better quality of the job. The job is easier with smoother operations else where.
Company planned a flight on a plane with an Mel radar that explicitly stated it’s a no go with storms and the enroute weather had storms. Constantly forgets to add alternates when required. Required maintenance inspections forgotten. Just a few items I’ve had in just a month
sure you can drop your whole schedule, work whenever you want and call out whenever you want. But while you’re working it’s not great.
