Pros

travel benefits
mutual respect, and enjoyment of co-wokers

Cons

since 9-11 the salary and benefits are about 21% lower and the work rules have become somwhat inflexible, with longer days.
It's like a hospital ER....conditions and schedules always in flux, sometimes chaotic...if you adapt to constant change well...its a breeze.

Advice to Senior Management

some of the f/a work rules seem to be: thoughtless, ....better collaboration between management and flight crews might solve this!
