Getting Sundays and Saturdays off is my biggest schedule priority. My schedule for August initially had me working 3 of 4 Sundays as well as Sunday the 1st of September. I ended up working only 1 of those and that one turned into a trip that I could commute home in time for church. Other than that one weekend, I haven't worked a Sunday or Saturday for the entire month. Every single trip was commutable except on the end of one of them. At this moment I'm sitting on 83 hours credit with 17 days off after X list trips. And I have the entire week off next week to get more. I bid around 80% in my base. This experience has been more normal than the exception for me.
So yeah....I'd say my QOL has been nothing short of fantastic for a junior guy who can barely hold a line even during the summer months.
