Trips are great if you can pick your schedule with the SAP. I usually get 2 or 3 overnights at home every month and my 4 days credit anywhere from 17 to 24 hours typically. I've got a 5 day next month worth about 32 hours, then a 4 day and a 3 day worth another 35 hours. I work 12 days next month and I'm off the rest and I still managed 2 overnights at home. Some of the trips awarded to you on reserve suck but that's almost anywhere on reserve.
Anyway, I hope you guys see more money and contract improvements soon. It just fuels the fire for everyone else... A rising tide and all that.
