Include vacation in that I have achieved 75 days OFF in a row. You can keep those 3 days ON 4 days OFF rotations fighting for non rev seats going to work on a few of those off days.
I’ve done that too when we wanted to take a nice long family vacation without using vacation time, except our back to back is 32 days. Then factor in real airline tickets (award miles) and free decent hotels (award points) and its even that much better than 4/3 and 3/4’s.... add in never ever needing a crash pad and it’s a win win.
