From the airlines that I have worked for, flybe is typical of my point.
Any airline that has the lesser pay/conditions etc generally is left with the really down to earth sort of people. Thats what makes it a fun airline to work with. The higher up the tree you climb, the more isolated you become. Just my experience of it all. Depends if you want to climb the tree where its colder, or stay on the lwer branch having fun aswell as working. The decision is always personal.
