RAF to Airline - Quality of Life

Hi,

I'm a currently serving pilot in the RAF (C-130K then J and now an A2 QFI on EFT, total time 4000+hrs) For the first time in my 20 years service I'm seriously considering leaving the RAF for the airlines so am looking to get a feel for which airlines and fleet (long/short haul) offer the best quality of life.

I won't be leaving for at least 2 years yet so not so concerned over who is/isn't recruiting at the moment. But I'd be very grateful for any feedback on your airlines work schedules, quality of management, how much you enjoy the job vs how much the job offers you a lifestyle away from work, general quality of life and fun factor. Obviously, pay is a factor but not the only one and I'd rather find a job that offers me good all-round lifestyle than just go for the highest bidder (Like I may have a choice!!!!)

Thanks very much.

Rgds
