FTB,

Don't worry, I am sure screw scheduling will manipulate the buckets sizes to inflict the most pain possible, just like they do now. I really enjoy the every other day short call followed by the five day trip (4 SC & 5 day = 58 RAW). If it's true that reserve gets more senior then maybe it will be better to bid a line. One thing that I have learned in the my military and airline career, if you have a good deal, it never seems to last long enough. If it sucks, it seems like it goes on forever. So embrace the suck!

Good Luck
