Everyone talks about QOL, pay, and retirement and were they can live as how they are choosing who to work for. One thing I have not seen anyone talk about is fun at the job. How many of the guys on the airline side are having fun and actually wanting to go do the type of flying they are doing or are they just there for the pay and benefits.
If you really think about it, it's not a bad lifestyle...

Fun? Not really. Mind numbing boring actually. Good way to pay bills, yes! All I have ever done is fly airplanes so I don’t have same perspective as other guys that worked different jobs. Maddog FO about to move on:

Sure beats working for a living.
A bit of advice... If you’re leaving an ill wife and three children with a stomach virus, in the middle of winter... don’t come home with a tan and a souvenir margarita glass after a layover at an all inclusive beach resort in the Caribbean.

The day I love the most is Valentines day, the rest are "bleh". Different job, same company...but it seems like it's a completely different one for those of us on the other side of the cockpit door. They keep taking away our flexibility, our work space, cutting our staffing, and increasing our workload. I'm counting down the days to retirement...unfortunately it's a 4 digit number.

Huh? We recently canned two seats on the -90 to give y’all more space!
To thwart a complete thread derail, I, too, agree it beats working for a living. Short of making Delta money to give rides in old Wacos and/or marrying a rich, dumb, young nymphomaniac, this is the best gig I can think of today.
