Personally, I get below average pay (and well below average profit sharing) to show up more days per month, work long and tiring days, then stay at oftentimes unacceptable hotels where I try to make up for frequent circadian flips, all while responsible for familiarizing myself with frequent SOP changes and being on the top of my game 100% of the time in case god forbid there is an emergency that threatens the lives of everyone on board and people on the ground.

Clearly we don't do the same job.

"Just happy to be here" and "I can't believe I get paid for this" are two of the biggest enemies of advancing the pilot career. Talk about "immature."
