A 12 yr FO would have to credit 157/mo. Let’s say you can get rid of everything and only pick up premium and avg 9/day. You’re working 17 days a month, minimum.

I check open time awards to see who’s above/below the cap so I can figure out likelihood of getting what I want. Some senior FO’s are working 180/mo with 4/5 days off a month. Once they’re above the cap, they’re picking up straight. They’re working weekends, etc. Sick, vacation, training is all at FO pay.

I don’t see the point of working to death when you can just upgrade and chill for the same pay with more days off. To each his own though.
