I wish that we had this. It's sad, to me, when I see line credit on the WB fleet over 86 and over 89 on the Bus (I believe those are the "Voluntary" max values).
I, for one, have very little control over my schedule. Still, I've only gone over 70 hours three times in the last year and a half.
That's the way it will continue for me, as long as we have one pilot on furlough.
