I understand the dislike of turbulence, and there is probably little that one can say to assuage your fears about this (please don't take this the wrong way) irrational fear. As someone earlier said, airliners are built to stand repeated forays into turbulence that is much stronger than that which you experience in a normal flight. That's the logical argument to assuage those fears. When I am on a long international flight and it is my turn for a rest break, I actually like a little chop.. helps me sleep.. But your question was more directed towards how we as professional pilots deal with the life. I still love the job, even with all the security hassles.. and other issues.. when the cockpit door is closed, and we start rolling down the runway, it is all worthwhile. That might just be me though. Hotels get a little old though, and with the seeming spike in bed bugs around the world, it takes a little of the "glamour" out of travel... Anyway, if you have any more specific questions, feel free to send me a PM, and good luck with your journey.
