Pros
Free travel, if you're even able to make the cut on the standby list because you have such low seniority.
Cons
If I could give zero stars, I would. You'll be treated poorly and the pay is borderline illegal. You'll get paid $1.65 an hour unless you are literally on the plane with the doors closed. You'll sit an 8 hour shift at the airport, and you'll only get paid for 4 ($6.60 for an entire days work? I wish it were a joke). If a company treats me well, I can handle bad pay. But crew scheduling and management do not care about you. It's no surprise that they can't retain employees. Over half my training class quit within 3 months. I had many planes that had cabins held together with duct tape and had entire seats unsafe to be used. Incredibly safe. Wouldn't be surprised if they go under soon.
