What are the average working days per annum compared to the general working population? What are the annual leave entitlements compared to the general population? Perhaps the industry needs to wind some of these back.
Niaive methinks. What has number of days got to do with anything? Consider the number of hours pilots work, and the changing roster pattern from extremely early in the morning to middle of the night (not specifically Ryanair here). Your average nine to fiver doesn't have this to deal with, their body clock never gets out of synch, most get every weekend off and all bank holidays. You are comparing apples and oranges.

Idiot.
And you don't understand seniority. It has nothing to do with those above being better.
