Most of us just love flying though, it's that simple.
Exactly. I've never done it for a living so you can discount the money, the five star hotels, the adoring totty and all the rest of it. I pay for my flying and still love every second of it. I probably love it more than a guy who does a thousand hours a year twiddling knobs in a 380 because I go where I want, when I want with who I want. The fact that I probably get more stick and rudder time as well is satisfying....
