Well, one bloke got bored in Cathay flying 744s after flying Hawker. He came back to the Hawker 800.
Another was bored in Cathay, not sure what he started on but he's now flying Falcons.

Another used to fly 757s and 737s, the lifestyle didn't suit and he got frustrated with it all (ie loco flying etc), now he flies an Excel. Loves it and the lifestyle. I am sure he'll be along soon to post.

One of my colleagues was a captain on a DHL 757, loved the aeroplane but they shifted his operation to another base. He has more money as an FO on the Hawker 800 than he did as a captain simply because the company pays for his travel costs. Now he not only enjoys the flying but he spends more time at home too.

I can't believe I am going to say this, but the bigger the size doesn't always mean more pleasure...
