Its tolerable if you already live in base...
but don't believe the recruiters when they say a new contract is just around the corner...the company and union couldn't even agree on whether the company should pay your family if you get taken hostage!
Oh, and we had a crew last month return to the field with an engine fire, then lost the rest of their day to cancellation. They performed admirably on the engine fire, and then lost a days worth of pay. This company refuses to do the right thing time and time again.
