Financial is likely the only advantage, and only because you flog yourself with 100 hours per 28 days. Consisting of working 18 or 19 days per 28, all long days (11:00+ hours) and either an early start or late finish. The financial was at the cost of no lifestyle. If the entirety of your existence was to live & breath flying, either at an airport coffee shop (unpaid), doing a preflight (unpaid) or flying SYD/MEL/BNE, for which you were well remunerated then you could not find a better flying job. But don't get sick and wait 20 years for a command!
