So while the credit range may go down, I don’t see it dropping to the point where you’re getting a ton more time off.
That being said, you may want to talk to someone about bidding in PBS. If you’re only getting 10 days off, it sounds as if you’re missing out on strategies to maximize your time off.
I have looked at other’s bid awards and it looks like everyone is in the same boat which is a little discouraging. It would be nice if say the guys at 40% we’re getting sweet schedules so that I would have something to look forward to. I was just wondering if there’s any hope that I’ll be awarded 75 hrs of credit at some point instead of 90. You may also be right about the bidding. This is only my 2nd month with a line so I’ll have to wait and see the reward report because it doesn’t look like I got much of what I asked for. At 50% I would think that I would at least get a couple things. I must confess that I’m a little spoiled having never done reserve at the regionals and having lines then with 18 days off. And I’m not in any way suggesting life was better at the regionals. But there’s a lot of difference between three 4 day trips a month and four 4 days. The 10 days at home is factoring in commuting which unfortunately is my only option. I know how much better it would be to live in base.
