I have been working at Norwegian Air Shuttle full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Great coworkers from all over the world. New large airplanes providing a good work environment. Great destinations in both Europe and U.S.
Cons
Long trips with little time at home in between, hard to balance family and work life. Schedules include positioning after working a transatlantic flight, making duty hours very long. Travel benefits are not great.
Advice to Management
Listen to cabin crew feedback.

Pros
Great people to work with. The planes were new and nice to be on. Destinations were exciting and new ones were added frequently. As a start-up company, climbing the ladder was an accessible goal anyone could reach for if they wanted. There was NOTHING wrong with being based in FLL.
Cons
Pay was not the best, but is it really ever? Schedules were often 21 days or longer away from home. No union and no easy way of changing/swapping shifts. Hotels left something to be desired and the turn-around time was often not enough to recuperate from a long haul journey across the Atlantic or North American continent.
Advice to Management
Make a better work/life balance.
Does anyone have any info on pilot schedules?
