As another poster said, fly the trips starting with redeyes-not fun for you but gives you a lot more family time.



Maybe try 3-4 bid groups with only 2 commands:
-a Set command for max credit
-award work

Over the 3-4 bid groups start the set command with 75 then relax it to 78, 83, then 85 hours.
-make sure you put bid groups after the 4th one just in case it fails.

Hope it works out for you and your family.
