You are subsidizing the lifestyle of people that work way less hard than you do.
Having been in a 121 cockpit for a few years I know that what goes on in there isn't safe in regards to fatigue.
This crew was on duty for 9:49 minutes. Not even close to 16 hours.
I'm glad you prefer the 9-5 routine. I prefer working 3 on 4 off. I enjoy my 4 weeks of vacation that I turn into 12 weeks because of said 3on/4off schedules. I doubt many people work less than I do. Thanks for your concern about my health, but it is fine and I get plenty of rest.
