It's your choice to upgrade or not but your sked will only get better with time where your sked at NJ will always stay the same right??
Yes, your schedule will remain "the same" (7/7, 15, or 18 whichever you bid for) but your vacation slots increase with longevity. Captains on the 7/7 schedule with 10 or more years on property get FOUR 21-day vacation slots per year and can take up to 7 paid "personal days" per year.
