I understand that, I have 3 on after this block of 4 off, the 2 day trip is (was) worth 10 hours in open time. I could have picked it up (if they would actually have given it to me... yes, I know what the contract says), and basically created 5 on. I would basically have to get a 20 hour 3 day trip to hit 30/7 which seems pretty unlikely at this point.... considering I haven't flown a plane in almost 2 weeks.... I feel like a pack-a-day smoker, deprived of his cigarettes for half a month... Got the jitters, headache, short temper, etc... Must.fly.again.soon.
