Holy smokes I’m in agreement with squib.
People are over the 10 junior man threshold (I’m one of them), but most of us in that boat are doing so for tactical reasons (example: accept a junior man assignment on day one of a trip that starts more than 6 hours before original showtime, use the day in lieu, I’ve now created an “extra” day off in my schedule). If you are consistently getting only 7 days a month off, its probably because you are not using days in lieu, which is a mistake.
