I'm still new and enthusiastic, and quite literally living a dream. It's a fantastic honeymoon and I wonder how long the feeling will last. When I mention this to the captains I fly with, a few smile knowingly, but most of them claim to enjoy flying as much now as when they first started.
In the words of one 35-year veteran I flew with recently; "When I get to work, I'm as happy as a pig in sh!t."
That said, I'm lucky enough to be flying new aircraft for a decent airline, from a small base where everyone knows each other and gets on well, and where security are human. No question that the experience could be very different elsewhere.
