You're so dramatic lol

NK is my second airline and prefer these reserve rules more than my last airline which mirrored closer to JB reserve rules.

The 4 GDO days guarantees every reserve pilots get at least 2 weekends off a month. At 93% in base, I held every weekend off by waiving my GDOs down to 2 since I live in base. And since we have a “Call Me First List” I easily credited over 100+ hours a month because I would get called regardless of block hours already flown.

93% in base got me weekends off (Friday - Sunday on certain weeks) and my preferred RAP. Flew a ton when I wanted to, sat on the couch when I didn’t (for the most part anyways). QOL was… wait for it… great.
