Hahahahahahaha, after the fun wears off, what a bloody joke. The only people who think flying as a career is HARD work are pilots. I'm getting close to 40 yrs in and it's the best non-working job ever, even GA. You compare an airline captains pay to other professional areas and then compare the workload, no bloody comparison. We S/Off and go home and think nothing of work until the next S/on, see how that is for any other professional on that pay level. Then ask what the response would be if you said "Nah, not changing my schedule as I'm busy" lolololololol. We have it pretty bloody good, all things considered.
