Living away from home in an apartment with twenty or more other guys. Rent a bed that sorta thing. Having to commute from you home to the base for your trip. Then get in to late to get a flight out home and the airport authority makes you leave, can't sleep here! So they sleep in the break room on chairs. I even seen the airport authority make out of state pilots get there cars tagged if they park them in the employee parking lot.

My old friend the Huey gunship pilot loved his job at Northwest. But he's been retired for probably close to 10 years now...so I'll buy that it may not be what it used to be.
