But the non-schedule and not being able to truly plan personal events on said off time becomes frustrating. It would be nice to have guaranteed, scheduled time off. Seems that every time I plan a personal event, (concert, trip to see parents, weekend at the beach, etc.) there inevitably is a trip to fly. How did you approach your owners to implement the third crew member and schedule?

fortunately for me.. i am the third crew member 😃. owners are great but trying to figure out amongst us what schedule works best. i am the only one with family and kids so i'm trying to maximize time home
