Is this a joke or serious?

They're not going to guarantee your few days off each month to be at home? Jeez, things are imploding at an exponential rate.

Having left and looking back, for a short while I wondered if maybe I was perceiving things to be worse than they really were. But now I actually think they could maybe been much worse than I had possibly realised. For me personally, that FCI would confirm to me that I had lost any last threads of freedom and I'd be severely depressed about the prospect of days off not seeing my family. What would be the point of existing that way, irrespective of the money in the bank every month?

EDIT: Maybe I'm only looking at it from a family-man point of view - I suppose it's not an issue for twenty-something single FO's... but you can't crew an airline only with that demographic.
