Certainly not a career airline Easy, too much like bloody hard work if you ask me. 30 years or so of that and you wont see retirement. You're now victims of your own success, which was inevitable. Low cost has damaged airline career pay and terms/conditions considerably.
If you continue to work such hours then be prepared to take it to down to the wire and strike. I'd fully support your actions as would any other sensibly - minded jet jock.
