Nice for having a vacation without having to use your actual accrued vacation time if you can hold those lines.

The secret as I've said on here a few times, if you don't want to work, is live in base and bid reserve. Admittedly, there is no reserve on the jet right now, but will be eventually.

I only worked 8 days in February and I only had I think 4 overnights. Half of that flying was just empty part 91 ferry flights. As for this month...I haven't even SEEN a Dash 8 yet this month.
