Pros
In the 80's, got to see a lot of places due to long layovers and meet fantastic people, F/A's are a unique bunch. Work rules were conducive to good health back then. Time to rest properly and eat right and protection if your day ran long with extra hours off. Longer vacations, etc.
Cons
Since 9/11 the job changed drastically for the worse and even worse yet after the merger with US Airways. Pay, work rules, rest time are now intolerable. Sick policy has become more strict and job's exposure to germs is enough to catch things and miss work, let alone health from being overworked so many F/A's I know are on the verge of losing their jobs.
