Well, being laid off, having a 50% pay cut, have benefits taken away, missing family events, working holidays and weekends, working long hours, and being looked upon as the person that pushes the button to fly the plane also sucks.

loves his job. Not to mention he averages more than 20 dollars an hour. Sorry your friend wasn't smart enough to chose what he wanted to do.
