This isn't some part time after school gig at the local country club.
So totally unfair. You should be able to work less for way more money, and they should be grateful that you grace them with your presence.
Life is hard.
Getting treated like that isn't (and shouldn't be) normal in this industry. It's one thing to get worked, it's another thing to needlessly jerk people around. An appropriately staffed company doesn't work their pilots to the legal limit all the time.
