I actually like the job
more than when I started; back then (not too long ago, mind you), flying meant line training so there was quite a bit to take in. Now I feel pretty much on top of the aircraft and its systems.
I still go to work smiling, love the company ambiance, the routes, the flying, etc. I get to witness beautiful sunrises (more than sunsets in my case), get to do more hand-flying than most, work with a great bunch of people, get lots of nightstops in good hotels, visit places I had never been to, don't risk jetlag, do some challenging flying, have a laugh... all the while getting paid good money!
Is it as good as I expected? No. It's much better. Would I do it all over again, including all the hard work, effort and money to get that first flying job? You're damn right I would!
Cheers
