@TimeOnTarget:
Cons
Long history of hostile management practices against pilot group
The company can be vicious at times
Pay is below par for the job
Constantly changing schedule with no pay protection
Long duty days and high levels of fatigue
17+ day patterns
Lots of sitting in hotels
Hostile training center
Tortuous dead heading up to 24 hours
None of those things bother me. I look forward to the long haul flying, but the "Hostile training center" concerns me. The training department at my current airline can be somewhat hostile as well, and that was something I was hoping would pass as my career progressed. can you elaborate?
