This is why even if you never in your NK career drop to zero credit, it still benefits you.
Yep, and even though I have never dropped to zero I know how it benefits everyone bc folks are hoarding trips they don’t even want. I’m pretty senior, live in base, and most of my trips are close to what I want so I don’t even trade that much.
That said I will be using drop to zero this summer and that plan starts today. I’ll still work a little but when and where I want.
Your kids are only in a window for a short time of old enough to travel easily, and young enough that they don’t have other commitments like many teens do. YOLO
