Fair, but you didn’t address Silvers point. I’ve done exactly as you have pointed out many times, and it is a tool for increasing QoL, yet that is very different from claiming an increase in QoL by utilizing conflicts to create paid days off then turning around and picking up trips during those off days. That doesn’t strike me as an increase in QoL. And yes, a JRM here and there can achieve something close to 110-115, but we are fooling ourselves if we think or claim that’s achievable all 12 months.
