Er.. well... just some of 'em

I like:
• Steep turns onto final course;
• Nature all around, the colours of the Earth, in particular;
• skimming the clouds top during climb at twilight;
• if you combine clouds skimming with a climbing turn, that's ecstasy;
• managing systems properly and enjoying what they give you in return;
• visual approaches;
• low visibility operations (I grew up in Linate, hey!);
• dodging thunderstorms;
• ending rotations smoothly and perfectly on time.

This is what I don't appreciate:
• dummy ramp agents;
• dummy ramp agents in Rome FCO;
• eating in a hurry and/or turbulence and/or without a tray table (God bless Airbus);
• you often see your friends do a lot of things together, and you can't join them;
• arrogant passengers (but, okay, in most jobs you get arrogant customers, don't you?);
• sometimes the feeling that I'm not being able to achieve anything else, that I'm missing something in the time I'm given.
