Not at all glamorous.

Perhaps it would be more fitting to interview our wives (or whats left of them). This job hammers your family lives by companies and evil management that don't want you to have a life. Weeks and weeks away from home working on the wrong side of the clock, your schedule in the hands of people who are just filling slots, extending your schedule whenever it is convienent for them and sending you to training on your days off. When you do get home, you are doing all sorts of company business (without pay); manual revisions, home tests, more security screening and fighting with payroll for the overtime that they screwed you out of from last month. Not to mention being treated like a terrorist at most airports and being stranded by crew scheduling in some far corner of the world when you are trying to get home. This is not what you think it is.
