Pros
- schedule options (8/6 or 15/13) - bonus pay on days off (up to $1750 a day if available) - diverse flying from ATL and ORD to smaller non towered airports (every rotation is different)
Cons
- aside from small base pay, additional pay is paid by the hour, if you sit on the ground on a broken aircraft or home reserve you don’t make extra money. - leads to my next con, planes break A LOT, they’re older other companies used airplanes that come with a list of issues. - you book all your own hotels, rental cars, Ubers, etc (you’d think this would be a con but it’s not. I waste my rest periods, especially late in the evening trying to get transportation, book a hotel (when everywhere is booked) and arranging food in between quick turn arounds when I would rather have someone book it for me.
