• At United you can pick up on days off on rsv but you don’t go over guarantee. AA from what I’ve been told can’t exceed a certain line value. Delta has green slips and rolling thunder. Different contracts, so most places have some way to augment pay if you choose to do so.

I wish I didn’t have to work more to make the same pay as the guy in the Widget 737. Yr 1-5 FO were sold out in the last cycle for whatever reason.

I can pick up 3 days of work and make what my wife would have brought in had she kept her job. Small price to pay for her to stay home with the kids since I no longer have to pay daycare costs, etc.

Longer I’m here the less I work since I’m making more. I only add 2 days a month now. 16 days off for me is plenty....and even with that I’m only away from my bed 8-10 nights a month.
