Pros
Quick Upgrades to Captain True Home-basing from anywhere in the CONUS You know your schedule 1 year in advance Covid proof - We actually hired and grew during Covid and actually flew more hours than 2019. Lightning fast growth, but not too fast. We started with 3 jets in 2015 and are up to 96. While they have treated me 5 Stars worth during Hurricanes, family emergencies, etc., I am giving us 4 Stars as we are growing and progressing to 5 Stars. And no, I’m not in Management.
Cons
As a newer Company, we don’t have all the pay and benefits yet as companies that have 2 and 3 decades on us, but that is to be expected and was offset for me by the quick upgrade to Captain and the ability to live on BOTH Coasts. We don’t have the same pay and benefits as the Major Passenger and Cargo Airlines, but then again we know our schedules a year in advance and can live anywhere.
