Sorry fellow professionals, this post is not entirely appropriate for the title of this thread.

I cannot resist replying to your ignorant, immature, provocative post.
We sit 7 miles up in the sky, often many hours away from a suitable airport, responsible for Millions dollars and hundreds of lives.
In the blink of an eye, any number of failures or climatic events, perhaps a combination of both, can mean those lives and the aircraft are in jeopardy.
Our expertise and experience is what we are paid for ! Simple as that !
Meanwhile, the Engineers, baggage handlers, check-in staff and ticket sellers ( whose job, I couldn’t agree more, is crucially important in a successful & efficient Airline ) are at home having a nice cup of tea with the wife and kids.
Unless you’ve been there and done it, you simply have no clue !
