Some airline clues please!

I am currently flying helo in this mans army and really need a change. Therefore, I am seriously considering doing my licences and pursuing a career in the airlines.
Before I bombard you with licensing queries I would just like to get the low down on life as an airline pilot.
Could anyone give me an idea of what the work regime is like, i.e. time away, hours flown, starting wages, what the boss is like and how your career progresses. I appreciate that this is a very broad question but I would greatly appreciate any hints, tips and help.
I also understand that it is very difficult to get started in this type of job and I am not taking anything for granted, but nothing ventured nothing gained!
Thanks for your time.
