At Netjets the passengers look at you as the help.. ( yes even the chauffeur)
I am currently FO on a wide body and cannot tell you how many times I walk to the gate and the parents tell their kids " look, there goes one of the pilots"
If you feel like a bus driver, maybe you should actually go observe a bus driver for a day. May put things in perspective.. I know I am proud to be where I'm at. And never feel as though the passengers look at me as the help.
And yes, coffee, ice, papers, day 5-7 and cleaning carpets does get old
