To give an unsarcastic response to the original question, yes I imagine the gypsy lifestyle can be fun and a lot better than flipping burgers if you're 23 and single. The problem is you don't get to stay 23 and single ("I'm not getting married for a long time!" LOL yeah right.. translation: I'm going to get hitched to the first hot F/A that bats her eyelashes at me.) The things that seem cool and fun now will be a drag later. If the best part of this job is flying around to see your college buddies on your days off it's going to get old really fast. I was halfway serious when I said become an F/A, if you don't care about money and are just looking to travel and live out of a suitcase for a while a mainline F/A has a lot better lifestyle than a regional F/O with the same benefits. Heck go work on a cruise ship for a few years and get laid every night. I can think of lots of jobs with great perks that would be way more fun for a single guy than the daily grind of airline flying.
