Do you like answering accusations from the chief pilot like, "You know, if you went at FL470 you wouldn't have to make that fuel stop in Grand Junction..." or "Did you know the hotel you're staying at is $5 more than the LaQuinta down the street?!"

And then there's the self evaluations you have to write each year to try and beg them for a pay raise...
“Would you like to pay the $800 drop fee for your ten minutes on the ramp or buy 300 gallons?”
