It's a good life, awesome job! Work as much or as little as you want / need.
Schedule flexibility IMO is the number one way to keep pilots happy. It's to bad ALPA and the legacy boys can't seem to figure this out! I am either stuck working crappy unproductive 89 hour months with 12 days off and flying a S.L. of all nighters or I am stuck at min hours and can barely pay my bills.

What I'd give to actually be in control of my life and my pay check!! What a concept.
