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.
This is a way more "real world" picture of our pay vs. QOL. 20 off and 100 credit every month is impossible for commuters/family oriented folks that value schedule integrity.
