Hi JAfly,
First of all, what do you consider a good quality of life? Good money attached to lots of days off? just forget it.
By law, we're entitled to 8 days off a month so do not expect more than that. At Azul, we used to have around 12 days off with the perspective of 14 days but due to the pilot shortage, the last few months captains were scheduled with the minimum days off.
At TAM I hear schedule is often 6 days on 1 day off. They rather give you stand-by than giving you the day off. The pay check is off course much better than by Azul but on the A320, your life will be on the road.
Gol just fired 80 copilots and 45 FAs this week and announced the reduction of 6% of its flights. I don't know much about their schedules, only that there are no open channels with the administration.
Have you heard the non existence of CRM? assholes are unfortunately everywhere, here, in Europe and in the US as well.
