Yes.
RSV isn't so bad if you live in-domicile... at ORD, last month on RSV I only worked three times... all were CDO flights I had to beg for. If I hadn't wanted to fly at all... it would've been a month of just sitting around not drinking. I was on RSV for 5 days over Christmas... I asked for a flight each day, and got nothing. During Christmas. When I was pretty sure some family-man would want off, or when it would be busy... it wasnt.
Sitting in your own house, hanging with your own family while on RSV is not bad at all.
