RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Alaska Airlines full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Excellent work-life balance; flexible schedule-flexibility gets better over time with seniority; paid to fly around taking care of people and getting them where they want to go safely; benefits are outstanding
Cons
Lonely nights in hotels; first few years on reserve/standby can be challenging, although totally worth it; working all major holidays the first few years most likely
