I hear a lot of guys blasting SAI, and maybe a few of them work there but I suspect most of the spewing is coming from guys who don't. That being said when I flew there (2005), I flew with some great guys, know some guys from Champion Air who fly there (a great bunch to a man or woman) that don't seem to ***** that often, and quite frankly I would love to be there again. It was tough on my marriage (that's over), but we had 36 crews and 18 FO's; so tough duty??? Some of you have NO IDEA... Try 46 days out, home 5, 61 days out and 10 days home, and my personal favorite; 73 out and 9 days home. Starting to get the picture? But, again that was 10 years ago. Incidentally, if DH is still the Chief Pilot, he is hysterical to fly with and an absolute saint of a gentleman, probably a damn good CP as well.
