New hires are getting a line with 14-15 days off. I had 17-18 days off a month when I was a senior FO on the 170. I never lost money one time out of 6 years with a cancellation. I was always reassigned after a cancelled flight which you still get paid if you do something else. If you fly a 78 hour line and all of your flights get cancelled for the whole month and you never work 1 minute you still get paid for 75 hours and lose 3 hours of pay. The choice is yours...1.5 years of reserve in a corporate style jet vs 1 month of reserve in an airliner.
