I did VIP 727 for just under 6 yrs, and loved every minute of it...
Based in Riyadh, the most time I ever spent there in any given year was 32 days...
Loads of time off, however, as has been stated, not really "off"...I carried 2 phones, 1 for me that I could turn off, and 1 for "him"...Except for the 6 week "C" check every year (6 weeks) I was on the road constantly...One year I spent 283 nights in a hotel somewhere in the world...However, we would always have at least 24 hour notice of a flight...my principle's people understood they couldn't order up a trip from say, LAX to Beruit, with a drop-off in Paris on short notice...
I had an extensive airline background, and when the kids were born I went back to the airlines, but I truly loved VIP...
Good Luck...
