Wow, with your screen name taken into account and that rant / question, I'll just assume you're a disgruntled regional lifer that this industry hasn't been that kind to. That's really too bad. Make some lemons from that lemonade and diversify your interests. Eggs left in the aviation basket will get crushed eventually.

PS: I goofed. 15 days off was my low credit range month. The higher ones left me at 12-13 days off. I live near base so that's fine with me. It's all how you ride in this rodeo, but an old-timer Avro driver (former) should know that..
