Good luck, let us know what you decide. I would recommend taking a look at the schedules at both companies in FLL and compare. It's one of the smaller bases at G4 with 16 crews. The senior guys are getting 17-18 days off. Middle of the pack and all the way down to junior line holders are getting 15-16 days off, all with average of 85 hours. Composite line holders are getting 14 days off which is a mix of flying and reserve and the bottom 3 have pure reserve with 12 days off. All of the pure line holders have good blocks of days off and almost no small 1 or 2 day off groups. FLL is actually one of the better bases in terms of schedules.
