Not intending to support or enable SJS, but in many cases the type of engine on the plane determines the schedule, and thus QOL...
Props often do 8-10+ short legs/day, jets probably average 3-4, usually longer legs. In my opinion most of a pilot's work is done on the ground during the turns. Longer days and a lot more busy-work in the prop. Instead of doing turns I'd rather be reading my newspaper at FL330.
Maybe I'm just lazy...
