The best part is...once your day is over that's it. If you have had annoying pax...they are gone. Flown with someone you didn't get on with? Well you don't have to go into work everyday and sit next to them.
No email inbox piling up, no in tray/ out tray.
No office politics (just galley fm!)
Flying for a decent airline the pay is good, hours are good (much less than the standard office 40 hours a week) and you get to travel to great places!
Most crew are really friendly.
Yes we all have bad days, rude pax, tiring flights etc but still. Work 9-5 in an office? Er no thanks. When I see business pax get on the plane, very stressed, laptops/phones/Blackberries out I just thank God that isn't me!
And yes, I've done office work and flying...and flying wins!
