I love RSV, even though I can hold a line (too much block, not enough pay to make it worth it). I can bid SCR or LCR. I can bid all 18 days in a string on LCR, or I can do pretty much whatever schedule I feel I need for the month. Bid 36 straight days on in Jan-Feb. Will enjoy 24 straight days off in Feb-Mar. I might bid a line someday, but it won't be much, and probably not or more than a month or two. Bid line one month, fly hard, then bid LCR next month and chillax.
So many options.
LCR and SCR fly about the same (on average) in most bases. Looking at any given DRO, it's usually within an hour or two of each other.
