You people can't be told, there's not much to love about operating the radio in the cruise. Small aircraft, doing lots sectors, hands on, is whats needed at the start of your career, not 6 hours sat staring into the inky blackness wondering why the guy beside you is starting to get twichy. The love of flight and wide body, long range ops are on different planets. Different galaxies if your not operating the take off/landing and climb/descent. I will admit though, that getting someone else to pay for your licence is a beautiful thing, just the talk of spending the next 40 years with them is far from rational. You are joining a corporation, you will be a tiny cog in a large machine, the replacment of which, will not make one scrap of difference to those that operate and own it.
