For me, commuting is one such example - sure, it’s “doable” but it’s not easy. Still want for people to apply and to join the IPA side of this company (do not join the FQS ranks!) but there's nothing wrong with being a realist. YMMV

We could have steak and lobster for catering, five star hotels on every layover, and guys would still find something to complain about!
We are well compensated for what we do but this place isn't perfect.

It’s a great job working for a bipolar company.
I recommend it to friends but also caution them. Things are great if there’s movement. Things are bad if you are stuck at the bottom and can’t get to the domicile you want. Things really sucked from 2007 until 2014!
