Feb's bid packet was gross. 5-leg days almost throughout at some point in the trips, lost days - not at home with my family, lots of 4o2o in everything and a ton of trips that finish in base between 2100-2200 local and I live in Eastern time so that's an hour later. (These are true for most of the lines with the exception of a few less-bad ones that obviously go senior.)

Or I could sit near the top of the reserve list and probably be safe just staying home as long as I keep an eye on it. Maybe fly OT during my off days since I'm home on my rsv days. I could have weekends off, and I wouldn't be building time so quickly towards that forced upgrade that would put me on a two-leg commute to LGA 145 reserve.

Holy cow, I think I just convinced myself...
