However, LOTS of guys happen to like the duty, expecially when it's broken up.

It's a challenging job that breaks up the ho-hum of every day line flying, especially if its a 2sim/2line schedule. Some guys like the interaction, some guys like the schedule, and some guys like the technical aspects of it. I did it for a few years, and it was a great job. When flying the line got old, you'd hop in the sim for two months, and when that got old, you went back and flew the line for two.
