Look its not all doomsday like the last two posters said. Yeah there are the senior captains who will whinge about the company from the time you sign on til you are running from the dash saying you have a train to catch! Most of them are too old to move on though, and too stubborn to do anything about it.
As for management, yeah they are there to make money, not make sure your coffee is warm when u walk in the door, as was seen in the engagement surveys, support from above is not always what it should be.

Rosters are relatively flexible, home most nights, depends on fleet type and roster bidding (bidding success, thats a whole other story). EBA for the mexicans (south of the border) has just been approved in principle, time will tell how that changes rosters, bidding, etc.
Expect 4-8 single overnights per 28 day roster, duty anywhere from 70 to 145 hours, and Reserve days from a few to 10.

Recruitment has been steady, I think they are attempting to stem the future flow to VB, and lesser extent, Jstar and potentially skywest.

Hope this helps.
