Being a pilot in any airline is no way comparable to any 'normal' job where you go home every night. Just go and ask the majority of the Australian Population to go to work on a Sunday for no extra pay and see what reaction you get. Meanwhile pilots all over Australia do that every week.
But point number you are spot on.
Ohh cry me a river. What about nurses, firefighters, etc. Pilots aren’t the only ones to work weekends. The well above average remuneration covers that weekend/public holiday work, and if you’re fearing for your career every 3/6 months maybe you should get another job.
I’m not saying it shouldn’t be nothing, but you’re already doing pretty bloody well boys.
