Hard work?
What was was your previous job? The rosters at BMED are good, and it definatly isnt classed as hard work. If you look at the destinations you do a 5 hour flight to Aleppo, and stay there 2 whole days, Beirut: 4 hours 30 flight time, and its a 5 day trip, yes there is a shuttle to Addis, but all you do is get on board, hand out a couple of drinks then sit and read. Life is easy for now at BMED.
