Exactly. I don't remember who said it, but he said: "I want my pilot well rested, well paid, and well fed." I can say that about my doctor, dentist, etc also. Anytime my wellbeing and safety are placed in the hands of another, I would want that person to be in a good state of mind. And here I am eating pb and jelly for every meal on a four day, and working on 4 hours sleep from the overnight. I think if passengers could follow a regional fo around for a month, see his work schedule and home life, they probably wouldn't be shopping expedia for their next ticket. In fact, they probably wouldn't get on another plane again.
