    Fly NYC to Paris. Be the pilot with lowest seniority, have to take the first break. Enjoy your 1.5 hour nap. Get back in the cockpit for another 5 hours. ‘relax’ in Paris for 26 hours by going out with the flight attendants. Be dead tired, but chug enough coffee to feel somewhat alive. Get first break again, but way too caffeinated to sleep. Land back in NYC 40 hours after leaving. Drive home on 6 hours of sleep in the last 3 days.

    Friends dad is a pilot. Get paid insane money, but crazy lifestyle.
