I could say the same thing from my perspective as a junior FO looking at you. I'm flying 6 leg locals or 4 days across weekends that pay 16 hours while you're probably holding 2 leg 700 locals with weekends off getting paid significantly more than me. The only difference between us is that you were hired before me.
You've been in my situation, one day I'll be in your situation, and every captain senior to you has probably been in both of our situations. The job is all what you make of it. If you're unhappy now you're never going to be happy.
