I dislike my job because:

I'm on the low end of the seniority list i.e. the last guy.

Reserve is no fun.

You are always in a hotel during those times you really need to be home.

I, along with everyone around me try to do an honest to goodness helluva job and still get paid poorly.

Taking the bus sucks.

I have to set my alarm for 0330 a lot these days.

I like my job because:

I sit on the couch a lot and then often go fly around.

At 37,000 feet I can see a load of cool looking constellations.

There's nothing like cruising around drinking coffee and seeing those constellations with your feet up and seat back.

Flying through the weather and not worrying about a your one and only engine failing, or getting too much ice, or not being able to get above/around weather.

I meet a lot of interesting people with some interesting stories.

Instead of calling them thrust reversers I call them "Buckets".

It's as close as I am going to get to being a pirate.

I get a paycheck to do it all.
