main_dog - guess so, last year i had 99 days off and leave as a "ignoranti 9 to 5 er" (in fact a 0900-2030 er)
Well then you're not the typical 9-5 office staff that was being referred to... perhaps you should have obtained an ATPL?
But if it's days off you seek, I wouldn't recommend it: there are fewer and fewer of those for pilots industry-wide. And aside from those "lucky" low-cost pilots, remember most nights you'll still be sleeping in some hotel instead of your own bed...
