Haysoos:
a) Grow up.
b) You haven't got what it takes to make it.
c) All jobs can be tedious, flying included.

I have been flying since 1981. I started when I was in the military, I got my ATPL in 1987. The day job was getting to play moving target for any idiot that didn't agree with the government of the day. It was only exciting, AFTER the shooting had stopped and you and your mates survived the "contact".

Airline flying is meant to be SAFE, ie routine. If you want exciting flying, try doing it with the military. You'll still get bored on some missions and you still have to push buttons, but you get the odd "police action" with which to scare yourself stupid.

Sometimes boring is GOOD.

Good luck with whatever you end up doing.
