I am a 9 year captain. Ugh!
That's kind of the feeling I have as well. Guys think we have something in quality of life that in reality we don't. They say it almost as a way to justify us being paid so much less. I worked 153 days with 83 overnights blocked about 600 hours on 2 and 3 year pay at about 40% seniority in base and make around 90k. I also had a nonstandard 2 months which would have changed things substantially. I had one month that I worked 6 days and another in which I only worked 3 days due to vacation and transition conflict, but that is not the norm. One of those was a company goof.
