TurboJ, I find your post is pretty much in keeping with many others who take the opposite view from Jabbejokker.
First there's an explanation of something you enjoy in the job, you mention enjoying doing the visual into Nice.
Secondly comes the advice to be humble, "be grateful you have a job".
And last, the resentment and indignation (paraphasing here..) - sod off if you don't like what we do, and let someone else in who's more like us.
Jabbejokker doesn't think this is what's for him, what suits him. That's fair enough wouldn't you say? If you offered somebody something you eat or drink that they didn't like and they declined it, you wouldn't take offense and tell them to get lost would you?
If I were to reply in a similar manner, perhaps suggesting that your trip to Nice was pretty much nothing more than you could've got from a computer game then walking round a car park for a couple of minutes, that wouldn't be very flattering would it?
That the best office in the world would've been one where your punters ended up going, to then enjoy a 35 hour working week, paid lunches, two weeks guaranteed holiday at the height of summer - enjoying watching you soar off into the azure, eating cack out of a foil packet, a privilege you have to fight to keep, doing 50% more work than they, in a high altitude, dry and carcinogenic environment - and that all summer, because surprise, there's no leave when you want it - and no, there's nothing we can do about it.
Perhaps that you're the one who's grateful he has a job because it's frightening to think what an out of work pilot would do, or have to do to retrain. Perhaps that even though you're not naked, JJ is pointing out that the Emperors clothes aren't as fine as he might think had he looked in other shops. Perhaps that if you're happy in a job that is largely unstimulating, although occasionally not so, doing things by rote with personal initiative limited to how many times you take a piss on the turnround or whether you take mercy on the poor sod next to you and not brief him for the 10th time this week on his home airfield - then perhaps you're the limited one and don't like it that Jabbejokker might have highlighted some uncomfortable truths?
