I think you're missing the point. I don't know your situation but I have four young kids and having the ability to drop a few trips or credit maybe 50 hrs one month so I can be there for Life vents is incredibly important. Work to live, not live to work. At Spirit we have Red/Green, so it isnt a free for all if the coverage isn't there but we don't allow the company to come up with random Grid requirements either. I'd also like to remind you it's a lot easier to rebuild a schedule when you drop half of it and then pick up from a large open time Pot. Anyway, just something to think about. The idea that just because we are Pilots means we have to be absent Husbands, Wives, Fathers, Mothers etc is ridiculous and you should expect more out of life than working 18 days a month with zero flexibility so managment can "mAximIze ProfitZ" for Shareholders....
