Flipping a coin.
So true. With pairing construction and the death of 10 hour 3 days (awesome on RSV) open time is ALL 4 and 5 day trips. Open time will be 85%+ 4 and 5 day trips of which 85%+ of those will have a long STI/SDQ of which 50% of those will also have a double JFK/EWR as well. Lots of STI JFK JFK and EWR EWR SDQ.
The trick to not getting called is 3 day blocks, but that’s IF you can hold it and they award it. With this all being said..in base, reserve is still the way to go unless you can control your line. I keep my blood pressure low, roll with the changes, and find “fun” in the less desirable overnight spots.
