I know its frustrating.
Im in that boat as well, will be 3.5+ years buy the time i hopefully get in the right seat, however Silberfuchs right its the best roster in the company providing the best lifestyle, if you want to do a t/o or landing go rent a lightie on one of your many days off. Im doing as much travel as i can... dreading the days when i have to work for a living......
Oh yeah being on the bus certainly helps.....the crews treat you really well....
