Edit: I quoted the wrong comment 🙃. Wanted to quote the comment about that SH is easier and healthier.

It all depends. Short Haul 4 Legs a day. Delays between turn arounds.

In the winter de icing. Sometimes even a few times per day.

Zero Layovers.

If you fly short / medium haul cargo, exhausting night flying.

Most probably I still forgot a few items, but short haul isnt as easy as you picture it.

I fly LH ACMI OPS.
We have plenty of nice layover.

I just came back today from 5 days Chicago. Played 3 days in a row golf.

In a few days Layover in Shanghaj.

Cant complain here.

But I dont think Long Haul shortens your life.

Dont forget also, in Biz Jet Aviation, NETJETS and FlexJet are the ONLY Real options for a career. But dont forget the fact that you still have to do the Luggage loading yourself for your guests. Broom off the snow from the aircraft.
Not healthy on the long run either.
And when you stay to long in Biz Aviation, it is VERY hard to come back to the Airline Business and often your hrs in not so good times are considered by many companies Useless.

It remains important to take time also to do sports, eat healthy as much as you can.

Just My 2 Cents 😉✈️
