Who says it blows? I think it's great. As I said earlier, it's a great job, but very few people will be in the job for 20 years and not be furloughed, sold, merged, or some other stressor. The reward is putting your heart into it. Is there anyone else that knows the airplane better than you do? If yes, then hit the books. Do you have the respect to be a check airman? If not, quit being a dick, and start being respectable, and submit your application. Are you on any professional standards committees or emergency response teams? Why not?
Any job is boring if you have no intention to excel.
