Yeah that's the problem I have with it. If you FAIP you miss out on the "Lt Good Deal" that all my IP's told me about of being a Co and flying right seat with with very little responsibility except for flying your a$$ off and deploying. A good friend of mine is a co on KC-10's right now and he is having a blast. Trust me it's definitely a hard decision. I'm just trying to do what's best for my both my wife and I and to be honest FAIPing looks like a lot of fun and most all of the FAIP's at my base receive a ton of respect.
