Bravo... this is so far the most accurate answer. A little over 5 years working there was enough for me to save enough to retire and never have to fly again plus just enough to damage my health (maybe for good), it's been one year since I shut down the engines for the last time and I absolutely see now how hazardous those 5 years were to my physical and mental health. But at the end a totally worthy experience... went there, grabbed the money and left. Mission accomplished!
