The flying is good. I enjoy doing trips and even getting into some bad weather. CAT II approaches are awesome. I'm single and not home much. Flight benefits is another reason. Pilots get the best flight benefits of all because we can jumpseat pretty much anywhere on any domestic airline and not pay a dime. I'm always going places on my days off, visited places and old friends from college. If something is going on across the country tomorrow, I can hop a plane and just go. I've done a few desk jobs for some summers where I get up at 6 and work behind a desk from 8 to 5. Not for me. So those are the good parts.

Bad parts....well my airline is having some really bad management/labor relations right now. So thats adding to the stress of this job. And no I don't work at a bottom feeder either.
