When you compare it to a commuter it is probably a wonderful job. However 7 on 7 off ain't for everybody. I sure as hell would have a hard time doing it.Many have been furloughed again after returning. Some guys just have to fly the heavy iron and could care less about job security, industry leading pay, getting payed to commute on company time from wherever you want to live, and amazing benefits. I guess it's not for everyone.
