Pros

Great culture, pay, and work rules

long upgrade times and little international flying

Keep doing what you are doing to keep the culture

Advice to future employees

Compare end of year pay and number of days worked, not just hourly pay rates. You will make more here working fewer days than most other companies

Don’t just compare pay rate, look at scheduling efficiency. Bottom line you will fly a little more but in fewer days per month for the same pay check than other carriers
