Bally,
Every job has it's down points, and SWA is no exception. It's a GREAT job, but it's still a job.
The flying is similar to the commuter flying I did for 10 years prior to SWA. Is it monotonous? Probably, but the trick is to not make your job your entire life. I have a "few" hobbies (OK, more than a few!) that keep my mind occupied on those long legs, and my days off. This job allows me to afford them, and gives me the time to enjoy them.
My advice is to find a hobby that you really enjoy doing, and indulge in it on your days off. The monotony of the job will take care of itself.
It's amazing how much better your life gets when you start getting decent lines (3 on 4 off). Double the goodness if you don't commute!
Just my $.02........
