A couple of my course mates went onto her- one notable ex merchant navy "officier" stated he wanted nothing to do with the rest of our course as none of you appreciated how difficult it was to fly and what a fantastic pilot I am...
Personally four things put me off.. route structure, amount of flying (one time they were flying with double crews to keep recency), being frozen on type until command (15? years) and that it was known as the Masons Fleet. All valid reasons for a bloke from Essex who wanted to see the world and fly.
