I agree with most of what mensaboy has said.
The question for my family and for me is not, weather or not we love this place. I've worked for a nicer airline before and for two worse ones, as far as "enjoying it" goes.
But there isn't really much choice now, anyway. This place here is definitely much better than working for some sh!tty LoCo-carrier back home, or living in China, or being a bush pilot in Africa. Salary- as well as life-quality wise.
Once the first year is over, you start getting used to it. Thinking positive is not the same as self-deception, and for us it works pretty well.
