The funding just isnt there to have FAMS on every flight. Imagine you were to sit in the back of an airplane for 4 days a week, 5 hrs a day.... no thanks.

They cant get enough fams to stick around past the 1-2 yr mark. They get burned out, realize their are more lucrative branches of the government, or they just realize that traveling that much is ruining their home life. There is a reason they cant get FAMS to stay

Hmmm sounds alot like being an airline pilot except we sit up in the very front and we get paid alot less than a FAM.
