Vantaggi
Fairly stable roster pattern. Good training department and SOP's. Up until now at least, has been a place where you can fast track your career into the left seat. Will probably change once expansion stops (2012).
Svantaggi
You are seen and treated as a unnecessary but required cost. You have almost no control or influence over your annual leave. Your contract will change at the will of the management without any negotiations. The salaries and benefits have been reduced significantly over the last 10 years despite record profits almost every year. Most pilots will have to work as "self employed" which means no social benefits contributions from the company, but in every aspect that suits them you will in effect be considered to be their "employee". You can expect to be treated with very little respect from most department as the management has created a very unfriendly environment where fear, treats and reporting of colleagues are the norms and a way to advance your career.
