Its as negative as you make it- there's negatives to any airline. Come into the job with an understanding the company doesn't want us here, but we're a necessary evil in their business model, ignore the IPA vs Management stuff, enjoy flying with some of the best people in the industry, and it's a pretty good gig.

If you dwell on the negative and let it ruin your work life, it won't be a good job for you. Show up for your trip, make it as much fun as you can, go home and enjoy the time off and paycheck.
