Again, everything stated earlier is correct. If you do decide to upgrade right away, you will get about 10-12 days off. If you decide to wait, its better. I've been an FO in MSP for 1.5 years and I'm holding 16 days off consistently. But then again, I rather double my pay than have a few extra days off..... And to re iterate what my buddy Higney said, this is a good group. Things will get better. I didn't freeze my but off in front of a big rat last week for nothing!
