If it's the former, and you're a captain that can't live on 73 hours a month, you have some serious financial issues that might require a change in lifestyle. If it's the latter, that makes some sense.
The latter, as I understand it. I have a friend with a chronically sick Dad and he's pretty much the sole caregiver. That's why he floated in previous years, but he didn't for next year.
