dont Be jealous. Most of these guys work 24/7/365. typical mech/pilot. 7/7, 14/14, or 28/28. Equal time off schedule. Add in my 3 weeks vacation and I work 23 of 52 weeks in a year. (29 weeks off) I have .1% of the responsibility and make about 10% of that pay. You want the brass ring, then quit complaining and go for it. Somebody has to steer the ship. But sitting on the sidelines complaining is always easier.
