If days off are a priority over money, you can do this nicely once you're off of reserve.
We have to clock 70 hours six months out of the year, and 60 hours six months of the year. The company specifies in advance what months are what. With the add drop split swap flexibility, which is on a first come first serve basis, even a very junior line holder can, with some effort, manipulate his schedule to maximize pay or time off, or both in some cases.
PBS, when it comes, is going to change things a bit. We were told however that what I just described above would still be possible. In theory it should remain possible as we will keep the add drop swap split functionality and up to 4% of flying will be put into opentime, and of course you have all the sick calls, drops, and other organic opentime trips that come up to help it. We'll have to see.
