There’s literally only a handful of people in any given department of a F500 (director/VP) that make what thousands of 12 year CAs make at any legacy make, much less wide body CAs (even wide body FOs). You don’t know how good you have it.
You just described 99.9% of pilots in the industry. The pervasive negativity is astounding. I honestly think a great deal of pilots would benefit from looking out the window for minute, especially if it is a sunrise/sunset flight.
