That's awesome. I'm jealous.

Clearly though you guys are the 1% exception out there for most airline/reservists. Not everyone has the luxury to move and change units year one with a new company. "It can be done" year one is about surviving and transitioning to thriving. My unit requires an average of 6 days per month, add 18 days of airline reserves and a commute or double commute and that = no days at home.

For all the pooliesworking on game plans all delta wants is the orders up front before the schedule comes out so they can schedule around your mil duties. Get through training and your 100 hour consolidation and then do what you need to do to feed the family, stay married, and keep your two part time jobs. I do 6 mil a month and get scheduled about 10 days or ~50hours around that. Add double commuting (yes, by choice) and that puts me home about 10 days a month. YMMV
