Still gotta' get those mins in place first. Good luck with the raise and union. Be careful what you wish for too. Again, thank you so much!
Think of it this way - if you take a normal work week off between your normal 7-days at home, you get 21 days off in a row. That ain't bad. You certainly won't find that at the airlines. I've heard people describe the 7 days off as a mini-vacation twice per month. At the end of 7 days you will actually look forward to getting back out on the road again.
CJ, check your PMs.
