I found (in my experience) the regionals in Australia possessed more of the "Austronaughts"
Once I started at major airline I was stunned by how much more relaxed it was.
Definately a much more pleasant working environment. And if i've learned one thing take everything you hear with a large pinch of salt. 99% of what you hear about people is bull**** anyway.
With the exception of a few knobs, if you show up to work with a good attitude, and do your job properly you will likely have a good day with anyone you fly with.
