The enhanced sector pay makes it worth it
Seriously though, I am having so much more fun since I became SCCM. Flying as a junior was good, but we have all worked with SCCM's who have a strange idea about how to do things, and those few would spoil the day for you.
But when you are the SCCM, you set the mood for the day and you determine how things will be run. Also, the pilots do give you a lot more respect when you are up the front which also makes for a more enjoyable day
