Great people and culture there. There was always new things to learn and the ability to fly wherever you want for free was great.
What I wish was different
I wish I didn't have to pay a yearly fee for the "Free" flights.
Advice
Working for an airline is a really unique experience. As a videographer/ photographer for the company I had the opportunity to really explore the whole company. If you get the opportunity to work for an airline, consider taking the job as it's a great experience.

What I liked
I get to travel a lot. I spent a night in Helena Montana and it was surprisingly enjoyable. I never thought I'd enjoy engaging directly with customers but it's rather statisfying
What I wish was different
I could of used more time on my overnights to explore local areas. Working on holidays isn't that fun either.
Advice
If you can get past all the background checks it's totally worth getting into.

Being on the road away from family is hard but is a very enjoyable career.
