Crab, yes you are pampered, no-one mentioned the colour of overalls, only the fact that you have someone in overalls to help you.
Horses for courses. Some of us have no-one else to do the daily check A, the walk round checks and post flight checks after every sector. Same with some refuels and oil top-ups, and towing the aircraft in and out of the hangar. My aircraft often doesn't see a qualified engineer for 50 flying hours unless something goes wrong with it.
It's similar for many UK HEMS and Police ASUs.
I'm no longer doing either, but operating as single crew these days, I have no-one down the back to help spot errors. I can make a mistake as much as anyone else can who touches a door or filler cap, be it passenger, engineer, refueller or pax handling staff, so my mantra must be a personal cross-check of the exterior whenever I can.
