I think you need to be about 1.95cm and or a stoat chap to avoid the small fleets. However, I haven't met one 400 or BBJ pilot who really regrets taking a job on those fleets. They are often promoted onto the mid or large cabin fleets quicker (and fair enough indeed!) and the crews seem to really get on and enjoy their colleague's company.
They generally don't go near Moscow (although occassionally they do) and tend to avoid the more entertaining areas in the ME and North Africa.
