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..
Hardly a lifer, just had enough of being abused on reserve almost my entire career and being at just the wrong point in timing over and over again. Everything from 9/11 to the scam bankruptcy to the cancelled flow to the screwing on the seniority integration. There is a group of us that have constantly seemed to be stuck at the bad end of things for the past 10 + years, costing us dearly compared to the average. Unfortunately I am an example of the results of the worst decade in the history of this career. And things are not exactly looking up because of this merger (I.E. Pinnacle Corp is not exactly realizing any benefits and actually losses thanks to this poorly planned merger)
