This thread is hilarious! Many of you say flying is far easier than truck driving….well I’ve done both and they both have their challenges. Truck driving can be both physically and mentally tiring but to suggest flying is easy by comparison, makes me wonder what’s going on in your heads when you’re flying.
Personally, I find flying European airspace (I’m a shorthaul captain) mentally tiring - the constant RT chatter and monitoring; ensuring contingency plans have been adequately considered; crew/passenger issues; 12hr duties with multiple early starts etc…
Ultimately in todays world, all jobs can be tough for different reasons, let’s not be so naive as to suggest our job is easy, when if you’re actually doing it properly, it is not.
