I didn't find anything on jetnet.
Its ok, I need to stop eating up the thread, its just a nightmare trying to find somewhere right now, and the worst part is they like to do things last second down there. Up north things are cheaper, a few months out, and people want to rent things as early as soon as they know its going to be vacant. Down in South Florida, the apt complex's use this software that jacks up the price, and a week before something is up for rent it lowers the price. I my lease sends at the end of Sept, so if for some reason I cant get something I will be in big trouble.
With the growth of the base down there, I hope all my frustrations and posting on here, does help someone else down the road, I have posted/got posted back at, with great info, that would have been a huge help when I first started looking.
With a composite/relief line, you still typically get 11 days off a month, but you know your sched the just before the month starts (after all the open time and trip trade windows close). If they have enough stuff left to build you an entire month, you will have a schedule all month of flying. However if not, you may have a few days on reserve. I think you still have to call scheduling to get released when you return from every trip.
