Even with the shortage we have looming, the GS trip buy plan is never long term. I've seen it go through 3 cycles on the 320 in the last 7 years. When the getting is good, it's good. They always seem to catch up and then that plan dries back up even with lots of hiring.
I've done 3 125+ hour months the last few months and while the money is good, QOL stinks. You basically put yourself on voluntary SC at any base for the entire month.
