You know it goes both ways.....
After 30+ years (and 5 DVT's later) of doing it week in and week out, you just get numb to it. The trips I hate are the 24 hours trips to Asia for a couple of days and back. The body just does not handle it well anymore. We have guys in our company who make those trips 12-16 times a year for a week or two. That is just as tough and most of them would trade with me in a heart beat.
I've made a lot of good friends with several airlines over the years and we still stay in touch. I know every gate agent by name in CLT and a good portion of them in ATL. They are wonderful people who truly care and go about of their way to make the trips each week go well.
Take me off the road for two weeks and I get real antsy and my wife hands me the phone to book a trip.........
