It is always chronically understaffed, very few trips are commutable and the reserves are abused. Now add in the three airport deal and there are probably some Siberian prisons that will be more welcoming. I did it for two years at about 70% in base. I still have the scars.

The island flying is fun however for those who love flying and have no family.
