I remember being in the training center with a few pilots lamenting how long NH training was--and then two of them cracked up that it was less than a third of any of their carrier deployments. They were happy to note it was the longest "deployment" that they would ever have to suffer again.
The last "deployment" is one most everyone enjoys is captain upgrade. It's only a few weeks and results in a 40% pay increase.
