You are kidding me right?
Next week I start a support rota at work, I'll be working 12 hours a night from 7pm to 7am for 7 nights straight (Monday to Sunday), then I get one day off, then I have to work 8-5 Tuesday through Friday. Two days off (Saturday and Sunday), then back to 7 more nights. I get to do this for the next 10 months.
And I have to deal with inexperienced people, and, and, and, and I get paid half what you get, and I don't get to fly during that time (who could have the energy to fly with those hours?)

So cry me a river. Welcome to the real world.
Do you have the lives of 200ish people in your hands?

Do you have a licence to do what you do?

Do you have to go through twice yearly checks to keep your job?

Do you work in such a hostile environment that your liver dries up whilst you are working?

Do you have to deal with noise induced stress?

Without telling us what you do your comparison is completely irrelevant.
