On that topic, what can a reserve or line holder expect to credit a month? At my last gig we’d bid ‘max days off’ and get 11 off and 85 hour lines averaging 4 hours of credit a day.

I read you have a 3.5:1 trip rig. So if my math is correct... if you spend 144 hours away from base on a 6 day trip, the absolute minimum you could be paid is about 41 hours? Seems too good to be true is why I ask.

And is it possible to be awarded a line that is only 72ish hours? Again at my last place, our “floor” was 75 hours but no one was ever awarded less than 83-93ish with no dropping allowed.

Also, for those that attempt to get max days off without reducing below around 72 hours, how many days off per month do you get?
