I hear you. I recently drove cross-country and couldn't believe that there aren't more accidents involving tractor-trailers. Cars would be constantly shifting lanes in front of them and slowing down, or tailgating them where they couldn't see them. It must be aggravating as hell to be a truck driver.
Commercial pilots got it made. They have air traffic controllers keeping airspace around them free of such distractions. All they have to do is twist a few controls here and there and set everything to autopilot the rest of the way. Due to the constant traffic and unpredictable behavior of the cars around them, truck drivers never get to use their "cruise-control" except maybe late at night when they are in the middle of nowhere.
I'm not bashing commercial airline pilots. I'm sure they put in a lot of hours learning to master all those dials and controls. But I do think their job is overrated. It not rocket science and just about anybody could do it (with the proper training).
Of course, that could be said of most jobs, including my own.
