Sorry ALTSELGREEN couldn't possibly let you get away with comments like that.
Do I assume that your line of work is harder than that of crewing, I think not. All in all, everyones profession has its degree of difficulty.
If you have worked your 'way up' from the ground floor, you will know and appreciate just how difficult crewing can be, as can flying at times.
When you report for duty, your only consideration is your flight, nothing else concerns you. Subject to the size of the operation, you are probably just a small fish in a very large bowl. Crewing & Ops have the entire fleet to take care of, which will no doublt include multiple a/c types, all with their own little quirks.
I must confess my dealings with aircrew that have come from operations/crewing enviroments normally are the ones that can cause the majority of problems. Things like 'when I was in Ops or crewing' we had to do this or that. Things move on, rules change, airlines grow, what you probably had to do bares no relation to todays problems.
Whatever you do, don't patronise us, we work just as hard as the next person, and when you take into account the 12 hour shifts worked thats likely to be 96 in 14 days, 01 more than you are allowed to do as a pilot, so who actually works harder!!
