Also, SUN and JAC are BE99 outstations with ski resorts, they also have company apartments, so you can leave some equipment there if you go frequently.

I guess you never got the "hey you, your going to _____ for a few weeks" TDY? Our base had TDY folks all the time who were voluntold to come to our base for several weeks at a time. Usually covering runs because someone called out sick or quit. They were gone from their families for in cases weeks at a time. What about the TDY folks who were covering runs away from family over the holidays?
But because it never happened to you it obviously never happened to anyone else. You are either deluded or actively promoting a false version of AMF life. Maybe life is perfect at your base and you really don't know any better.

You are accusing me of doing the exact thing you are doing: taking your experience and applying it to everyone at AMF.
And no, where he is going hasn't been a TDY exporting base for a while now.

Seriously, I didn't even comment on whether the schedule was desirable or not, just put out the facts. I figured both of you would chime in to make sure the negative side was represented. All I have to do is fact check you guys when you go overboard with outdated information like 34k a year pay and what life was like in OAK during the depths of the recession.

So if you want to give facts, make sure you give both sides of the facts.
I'd love some no BS numbers on staffing, attrition, and class size. For personal amusement.

That's the impression I get too. There weren't a lot of new trainees coming out the sims when I threw in the towel in Nov either. They are pushing the social media hard. But that was a part of their giant plan they emailed us about late last fall.
