I would not disagree with anyone that easy does sound like a great airline to work for.
Personally i believe it comes down to what the individual wants from the job - easy pays better, works you harder + scheduled flights. Excel pay not so good but the most flights i have done in a month is 12, although they can be very long. In jan i have 3 flights and that fits in fine with my social life - also very varied flying.
Don't have a clue about GB!
