As someone who lifts things of a similar weight at work (though thankfully, nowhere near as often as baggage handlers do) I can sympathise with getting bad backs etc.
What I cannot sympathise with however, is someone taking a job where your sole responsibility is moving heavy bags moaning about how customers are idiots etc. for taking too much on holiday with them because they don't like lifting those bags. If it's that big a deal to you then you shouldn't be in that line of work.
