And you would seriously suggest that those things don't happen in airlines?! This is business, just like yours. We have the same characters and similar yukspeak. We get away from it to some degree whilst flying, but it's always there to meet us on the ground. As Maximum says, the bit in the air is a lot less wonderful than it might appear from where you stand.

We also all have our pressing responsibilities at home - kids, mortgage, oncoming retirement, etc. etc. Like most people, our financial commitments constantly threaten to overtake our available income, and our companies' demand of our time constantly threatens the stability and harmony of our domestic life.

This is a good job. It has big responsibilities, a great view, and it can pay well, but it is a just a job. Keep that in mind.
