Being limited to fly on a 9 routes network, with always the same bloody people, is for sure a boring job. Of course the weather and food can only be better at BCN/PMI than it is at LGW/STN. But be aware also that Barcelona area (downtown and nearby the airport) is now a very expensive place to live as opposed to Alicante or Almeria. Also, be careful with little bases as they might suddenly close down when the accountant manager finds out they are not making enough cash over there.
