It’s very simple. Now the key for quality of life is for the staffing not to be dog ****. Bid the transition conflict and get 12 hard days off. Pick up 4 juicy ot days during the 48 hr window. Don’t drive in for ot unless it meets your “worth it” threshold. For me that’s 4 hrs of flying or at least 6 hrs pay. Already Your looking at 99 hrs pay with 8 days off. But is it really only 8 days off? If your relatively senior I’d suggest bidding 4 am every day. You’ll have guys under you and at 10 am there will be more guys under you but your not going to be good for when the thunderstorms and **** has happened during the day. Hopefully you only actually work 9 of your work days. Now here’s the best part. It’s very difficult to be junior manned in this situation without it costing the company a lot. They can’t take you below 8 days off so in order to I’m they must give you a day off later in the month before you get a jm. Then you get your min 4 hrs straight pay and another return day to use no later than the end of the next month. Don’t forget to put in the rf 100 rtd code or your hosed on the return day. Enjoy your 99+ hr paycheck for 13 days of work. Granted you’ll be doing better as rsv seniority increases.
