Remember that we fly businessmen and women in the backs of our overfull jets. They are shucking their crap from one hotel to the next just like us. A lot of the time with more time away from home and less pay.
Disagree with that statement, fine, but I have a father-in-law that has been doing it for 40 years, and he is gone more than I am.
This profession needs to be fixed, but there are worse places to be.
No kidding. My dad travels more than I do and while he usually gets an aisle seat and sometimes upgraded to F, when he gets to his hotel room, he's either on the phone or laptop, working. He's a professional consultant and like most of his masters degreed peers, makes $100K in a good year.
