The base issues should be handled better though. There should be limitations on how many displacements can occur or something to force them to better plan and allocate new hires to these locations. I'm actually enjoying my time in PR. Won't be forever for me but it's honestly a great base if you're not tied to a family elsewhere.
Speaking of SJU.. Hope we get rid of the duty period min and replace it with a min daily credit. These 3 days out of SJU crediting 11 hours are no bueno.
I love my day turns and being home every night, that being said, I also enjoy EFFICIENT, 2-3 days.
Wait until you see the 3 day 10hr redeyes.... more insane than 11hrs or my personal favorite, the 11hr 3 day with a 25hr layover
