Positive
By and large a good standard of training. It IS a training airline.
Extensive route network offering operational variety
Stable roster pattern which has maximum advantage if you are at your desired/home base
Ticketless/free jumpseat system for commuting
Negative
Massive financial outlay
Zero pay for most of your training / low pay from safety pilot release to 500hrs on type. Payment rates for FOs appear to continually reduce.
No guarantee of base
Largely no guarantee of annual hours although Storm suggest a guarantee of 30hrs per month (Therefore the minimum and only guarantee would be 330 hrs per year accounting for the compulsory month off)
Likely reduction in future prospects as expansion has ended ie time to command will increase
Complex taxation system. Many query it's legality
Increasingly seasonal position
Top heavy with FOs
