I've been here 2 years, top 30% in base, schedule has varied from 72-90 hrs and 14-19 days off (Most months are 16 days off and 75ish credit). I've benefited from a few transitions here and there, but when it's set up, I bid the whole month around it.

I've never taken a JRM - been called about 5 times in 2 years around the holidays, couldn't take any.

My YTD is just under 70K - all on year 2 pay.

Unless you want to work on your days off, that's what you can expect. I want industry leading pay rates. If that means PBS, I'd consider it. I don't want to work on days off to make the salary we should be getting. Our trips are so unproductive. I don't think 18 days off with 80 credit is too much to ask for. Trip averaging and 18-20 hr four days are killing us.
