Sure, just not as much around this time or any other busy season. We tend to run a thin staffing operation. During the busier times the line values are at the higher end so line holders will have higher credit and be working more and also allowing for a larger number of reserves available. Plus you have to remember you are covering the guys with summer vacation blocks which are cleaned out. I'm Boston and with the company about 2yrs but JFK will be similar. I bid commutable and not a whole lot else, this month I have 90 hours and 13 days off and thats pretty common over the summer. During the off peak the line values go down and plenty of months I have 15-16 days off.

If staffing is available remember you can PTO or UTO (unpaid) some of the shorter, inefficient day or two day trips and get some more days off. I usually UTO them, if its a 10 hr trip I'll UTO it and then cover what I lost with selling them back the PTO which is at time and a half. So covering the 10 hours of the pay I lost with the UTO will break even selling them back about 7 hours and you keep the 3 that they would have deducted if you PTO it.
