yes, my situation exactly, for home bound to weekly schedule, for commute prefer 4 days, so waive to 3.

Not waiving will mostly get you more days off in your initial award, requirements to have open time, and people using IOT for dropping will give junior people a lot of options to change their schedule in DOT.
Requirement for the company to only be able to use one number for minimum reserve required across the whole month (with the exception for a few specific days a year), with the requirement that 75% of the days need to be green, and the option to have red on red day trades gives everyone options most of the time.
No requirement to ever have a certain credit level means if you need more time off, it’s normally not that hard.
The way our premium is build and handed out means generally very good pay for very little work, most of the premium I’ve done, I will get 20 hours of pay, and as a commuter am gone from my home less than 24 hours.
Most of our rules lean towards less work, not more credit, and that is why people came to NK over SWA.

I have never done PBS at another airline, so for all I know, JB could be superior in every of these categories, and that is why we should keep comparing here, so we both figure out what we need to keep most.
