Try trawling through the search function, inserting all the names of all the airlines you might want to fly for.
Or simply scroll down to Airlines, Airports and Routes.
There you will get a flavour of the differing points of view.
You will learn that stable rosters, every night at home and good income with the LoCos are frowned upon by all those who work for airlines without all or any of the above. You will read that Long-Haul, days away and soon to be 3 or 4 star hotels are the absolute pinnacle of aviation life.
Having said that, you will also learn that differing points of view occur even within each airline.
So read all you can, you have time enough, and decide in a year or so. It is almost certain that some of the airlines you look at will no longer exist, so choices will be narrowed. The lean, mean airlines of today will almost certainly be the only ones to survive the coming downturn.
It may also be that there are many pilots out of work so maybe you might have to consider signing on 'till 55!
Good luck.
