Granted, I am new, but...

Even though I commute to reserve, I still enjoy my job immensely. Not that I enjoy commuting, or 4 hour Newark sits, or 12+ hour days, but as soon as the wheels leave the ground I couldn't imagine doing any other job. I've had my fair share of crappy jobs in the past: construction, waiting tables, used car salesman (no joke there), and having those behind me makes me realize just how good we have it. Next time you're up there, flying a jet around for a living, imagine what it would be like to do something for a living that you absolutely hate. Something you loathe getting out of bed for in the morning. I've done that, and while I definitely think QOL/pay could be better for us, I still don't think we have any room to whine about how crappy we think our job is. I could think of much much worse.
