I think I understand that you mean longer legs (more fatiguing), harder work prepping/cleaning the aircraft to some extent, more luggage to load, and more people to deal with in the course of your duties. Got it.
I'm sure everything in relative in the cockpit - size wise I've heard that the avionics in the X (e.g. the FMS) isn't the most user friendly; so I would asssume that 'more work' in this respect means means a little more attention/work required to fly from point A to point B - and at speeds that many others can't reach.

OH man the X is so hard to fly I am amazed I can even do it!!! All planes are easy to fly with a little training.
Do I sense mockery here? All planes are *easy* to fly huh? I hope this is true. I haven't flown many different planes in quite a few years and I *think* I am looking forward to branching out.
