Ditto. Have been in 2.5 years. There is the odd 'charachter' as you get anywhere else but 95% of the time the flt deck atmosphere is much more relaxed than in my old charter mob.
Also there's nothing like going out for a beer with your colleague in Prague/Paris/Edinburgh on successive nights as you trapse around Europe - I can honestly say I have more of a rapport with some of the skips here after a 4 day tour than I did in a year of there-and-backs with the old lot.
Don't believe all the scare stories you hear about Nigels! Like you, I was unsure but the vast majority turned out to be complete b*******s.
