“life at KA”

It all depends on what floats your boat.

Good - Pay, allowances, housing, staff travel. These could all change but while it lasts it’s a good source of clover.

Line drivers are mostly good to work with, treat you with respect – unlike my previous airline where FO’s were treated like nuff nuff’s.

Command prospects – good, still happening although no longer as certain as once before. CX commercial agreement could have an impact. Crystal ball stuff.

Training and checking – average at best. Unrealistic sim scenarios. Lots of young guns on the 320 use training and checking as a willy waving exercise and not an opportunity to foster learning. Check captains appear to invent SOP’s that suit themselves at the time.

If good pay and conditions of service with good command prospects and shiny new aeroplanes is what you are after, go for it.

If progressive modern thinking and quality best practice flight operations turns you on, look elsewhere.
