Yes there are content foreign pilots that have passed through the OE, pilots that are renewing the contracts and staying probably to the very last days of their flying career.
Good things... You now what's wrong with your health, they'll find it during medical checks... Is it good or bad, its questionable point of view? Aircraft maintenance is excellent, makes your life as a pilot much easier... The schedule is marvel; one can plan almost entire year ahead and in 99% it will come through. Lifestyle...11 days every month, actually 12 nights at home is worth it. Fuel policy not as strict; you can add fuel when you have that gut feeling and no questions asked.
Bad things... You can always find the things to grumble about. Can you change them? Probably not so you learn to live with them. If it becomes intolerable you leave. It is your, and your choice only. And yes, it would be nice to have pay rise…
Good luck!!!
