Rescue 1
Tell me, how do you calculate 96 Days off for the average 9 to 5er. 52 weeks a year with a saturday & sunday in each equals at least 104 days. Add to that the RDO generally at least one per month equals 116 days off per year. Add to that the public holidays or long weekends and the fact that your average 9 to 5er is home every night, makes it a little difficult to compare. I am sure that if you were to look at the actual hours flight crew spend "away from home" directly attributable to work, you would be staggered!
Perhaps you are ill informed.
