My last 4.5 years AD were at CHS, and I know the pain. No 26-hour crew duty days waived to 31-hours followed by 17 hours (if you're lucky) off then another. I wish I had left AD sooner--the AD C-17 is what made me look 10-15 years older than what I really am. Your going to like it on the other side no matter how much you get paid, how much you work at night, and how many turns you do in a day.
