Actually, I asked if you would be willing to start the thread - so I guess I will ask:

Since most of us have no idea what goes on behind the cockpit door:

1. How do passengers affect your job? i.e. is there anything we do that makes your job more/less enjoyable?

2. What regular part of your job do you enjoy most, or maybe paraphrased as what makes you tick as a pilot?

3. What is the most annoying part of your job?
