Just imagine if your GP only worked 900 hours a year max? My brother is a doctor in London, he often works 70hrs a week, plus he is on call and is paid a pittance compared to me and all I do is, lets be honest now, enjoy a few decents night stops and fill in the crossword at FL370.
Stop comparing apples with oranges. Just imagine if my GP worked 70 hours a week, plus he is on call, and screws up. He's only going to kill one person instead of a couple of hundred, plus himself, plus whoever the wreckage lands on.

...but I felt a little contrite after he dozed off through exhaustion (rather than being bored rigid about some crap hotac in EWR).
You obviously don't know too many long haul pilots.

Get a grip.
