I have no issue with what anything you've said with the exception of the pilots don't work hard. You're confusing not working hard with not doing hard work.

Mason: hard work
Construction: hard work
Deck Hand: hard work
Ditch Digger: hard work
CEO: works hard
Pilot: works hard
Accountant: works hard
You get the point. As I have said in a previous thread I have done hard work and I have worked hard. I'd much rather work hard.

Oh, I fly a Brasillia. I am not sure that qualifies as a "state of the art regional flying machine"

Take care my brother.
