I blocked 160 hrs last year and made more money than a NK pilot in the same range as me. I spent less than 20 nights on the road.
Trade board?!!! Are you effin kidding me?? I drop without the trade board every single month!! EVERY MONTH!!! I am home all the time and not missing kids birthdays, events!! Enough of your nonsense!! The point is here that if you are excited about your tradeboard, i have news for you... IT CAN BE EVEN BETTER MY FRIEND!! LOL Email your NC and tell them you want to adopt Spirit's bidding system, scheduling flexibility and beable to drop to zero without tradeboard, also the ability to pickup in any base with no restrictions. Spirit is a place that is good for everybody, you can work as much as you want or as little as you want and be home or run a side business, etc We can do the same with a JCBA AND still get pay increases! WIN WIN for everybody. I also recommend keeping the X/Y list on days off, you will be called anyway as the pilot shortage continues.
This is great if you want to make money, but if you dont want to make 200% then you can simply not list for it and stay home with the kids and take the boat out. We have the best of both worlds
