Pros

- Travelling - Pay was moderate in comparison to other airlines - Challenging work environment

Cons

- Commuting costs; Living in London is extortionate so many Crew commute, however, it cost me a 1/3 of my salary to do so - Lack of progression; There are two paths to follow to progress to becoming a manager, however, the workloads for these 'trainee managers' is disgraceful, but it is seen as part of the role, and yet there is no pay increase until you are fully qualified - Lack of work/life balance; the shortfall of Crew means that there is added pressure to work longer routes with less rest. Ended up spending more time sleeping in my car than my own bed
