Things look pretty good from mine and your vantage point. A little different view when your just starting out. My buds don't have to worry about being on the bottom of the list of possibly the next company to file BK or the next company to liquidate when your half way up the list. They don't have to worry about starting over.
I'm sure lots of people would like to swap with senior guys at FedEx but not to many would like to swap with a junior TWA guy or Indy air or any number of other airlines.
There are lots of advantages to other jobs besides the ones you and I have. One of the biggest is Options! You and I will dance with the one who brought us till the end. We don't have options.
When all is said and done, you have to worry about your family, your retirement and numerous other personal issues. You have to decide how best to take care of those concerns and if you can do that with a much more stable and lucrative career than a lot of our brethren and still be able to buy a Pitts and pull lots of G's then you should consider those options.
YMMV,
