They will eventually figure it out and man accordingly, or eventually you will be senior enough to get the call out. These are my opinions and I think history supports it. I'm not talking about folks trying to rework their schedule or get a decent month. I'm talking about ignoring obvious manning gaps and sucking up time to FAR limits. You are solving DAL problems and overworking yourself for straight pay. There needs to be a pick up limit and it should apply to any way you pick up time. But hey, knock yourself out. You can help solve Social Security and Medicare issues as well. Nearly retired so its important. OFG
