Sure. I bid 95% in the left seat. Even being very junior I'm thankful to be able to be home so much. I could deal with 8-9 years away if it meant 20 more getting what I want. That being said..

October I had 15 days off at minimum guarantee (72 hours). Picked up a few turns, to make it 12/86. All month was turns, 0 nights in hotel.

Same thing for November this year. But two nights away from home. Picked up turns again to make it 10/92.

January - April this year was much the same. Only 1 or 2 nights away per month.

On summer months where the trips are all 3 and 4 day trips I don't pickup extra cause I value my time at home with family. Schedules then are generally 14off with 80-85 hours credit.

Thanks to those who provided your schedule summary. It helps. Much appreciated.

And to the comment about Spirit possibly not being around in a few years - you're right, it could happen. Which is why I'm keeping my options open.

I'm not going to apply somewhere unless I'm sure I would say yes to a CJO. I don't want to burn any bridges I may need to cross later on.
