Aurigny was the best flying job I ever had. Moved on though for a desire for bigger and better - sometimes regret it though.

I don't know how different it is now but when I was there it was a really nice lifestyle: 5 on 3 off always and on average a mere 4-5 hours work a day; always started on lates and finished on earlies maximising time off; very little paperwork; very little BS; very nice quality lifestyle in the Channel Islands.
On the down side though: The Trislander shook the hell out of you and damaged your hearing; you earnt your money without decent nav kit and lack of auto pilots espcially in the winter and when the famous Channel Island fog came in at 40 knots across the runway; you could do 14 sectors a day of very samey flying in the summer.

I miss it!
