Thanks for the information. I'm looking forward to hopefully getting DRL at some point. As you point out, that's where the real schedule flexibility lies, and luckily they pay well enough that bonus metrics and some extra dollars aren't really a primary motivator for me. So perhaps my position on that will compliment a team of 2 others who want to maximize income.
