Suggest you get a copy of the BBC documentary 'A Pilots Life' which follows the life of a long haul pilot from flight planning to lay-over activities down route.
Although first transmitted in 1985, the fundamentals remain the same today.
And the same goes for:
Unquestionable status of Captain.
Exceptionally high remuneration.
More than adequate relief periods during flight.
Highest quality on-board food.
Long rest periods between flights.
Best suites in finest quality hotels.
Unimaginable perks.
