Welcome to the forum Baz.
This topic of work days a week for pilots has been brought up before by those who don't fly for a living. After a relative recently scoffed at how "little" I work compared to them, I asked them to think about how they feel after just a 4 hour flight as a passenger.
There are harder jobs, I agree and if you don't mind having tired, fatigued, underpaid pilots flying you around, thats your prerogative. I just don't think the public would agree with you.
I was going to write a list of examples, but hey, that would be whinging. The shrinking queues of new recruits is speaking for me.
cheers
