In about 2 years on the line, the company tried to extend me past 17 days 2 times. Once was to ride a company plane home from Europe and I called foul and they bought me a ticket on day 17. I've just been STN and JFK based but I don't live near there. I never saw STN while I was based there and have only hit JFK once since I got back from furlough. There are times I have to travel on day 0 to be in position for a trip that starts on the east coast and sometimes it's the morning of day 18 when I get home. There are other months I'm home after 15 days. It will be interesting to see how the new trip rig affects scheduling and how line bidding works out.
