Quality schmallity. All flying is to some extent dull, boring and repetitive. Faced with this reality, some pilots tend to think of their own job as challenging, difficult and demanding, and to dismiss other types of work (of which they have no firsthand knowledge) as rather easy by comparison. This train of thought just serves to maintain a positive self-image and sometimes, when verbalized in a social setting, to attract members of the opposite sex.
