The way the industry looks, your assessment is mostly correct.
The point of working is to make money. Looking at myself as if I were a business, my profit is MMMTO. My cost is TAFB.
While the decision to make money via aviation may not have been the good one, no one gets into a job PURELY for the love of the job. It's a bonus, sure, but if I have to be poor at home, there isn't a point.
