Wow, quite often I've hand flown the entire day, anywhere between four and seven sectors, with full loads of passengers two or three days in a row. Yes, 21 sectors up to three hours long with no autopilot. Now that keeps your skills sharp.

I think I've done one or two hundred approaches to LCY, thousands of visual approaches to Sion, Chambery and Funchal to name a few and all in things that are bigger and less manoeuvrable than itty bitty Cessnas.

I'm quite fortunate that I don't have to play the obsequious chauffeur to that fat, rich tosser or teenage boy bands...which, judging by the last post, looks like the only difference.
