Pros
-Good pay for a regional -Great flight benefits -Short Flights -No red-eyes -Seniority moves up quickly since most people’s end game is to go to mainline -Pretty easy to get the days off that I want -Pretty decent contract for FAs -Commuter hotels -Great commuter clause -No more 140s/145s so no more being the solo FA and having to do all of the work -Just you and another FA. No having to work with up to 10 FAs at a time -Management and union is on it when it comes to any concerns that you have and takes the time to get to know you.
Cons
-Some trips are 5 leg days. It’s typical for a regional, but it can make the day stressful and make you feel like you’re doing double the work and paid for half the time. - Reserve system kind of sucks. It would help if reserves could self assign their trips instead of waiting for crew scheduling to assign it by least time accrued. It would be great for people who commute, and those that ar impatient waiting for a line, since airport standby shifts are 8hrs long, and you’re only getting paid for 3.45hrs. Other than that, I have no other complaints other than typical regional things.
