A current example of this is SFO756CA/FO. 86 SFO756CAs and 68 SFO756FOs. Does that mean super chill schedules than for that fat category of SFO756CA?
One reasons is LOAs and vacation. Almost half the NB CA get 42 days/yr vacation. As we age we are more likely to have issues requiring time off. Getting old sucks in that regard lol.
