If I might echco the words of jackitin - the Orange Empire is a great place to work but like everyone else has some big challenges ahead. If you want short haul and you want to be home most nights then easyJet is as good as it gets. I have worked there 4 and a half years and have few complaints. If you get a command you will not be bored within 2 years - I still love the variety. We fly to more destinations from Gatwick than any other airline including BA - it is varied and interesting.
The one word of caution I would have is about quick commands. That is simply not true any more. Anyone joining today is probably looking at several years to command, and even then there is a big question about future expansion in the current climate. The day-to-day flying is busy but pleasant and if you want to be an airline pilot then easyJet is a great place to be. If you want long haul lifestyle then go to BA or Virgin. Just my thoughts.
