My goal is to not be used.

Depends. In smaller category I would say no. In a large category I would say provably..........if you have adequate coverage.

Also, what is the coverage of nearby bases? Just when you think you are off the hook in LAX/SLC you get assigned a trip to cover the other base.

What month? In Nov/Dec a lot of guys want to fly a lot early in the month under the misconception that they can then coast through the holidays - OBTW this never works.
