New rules in this contact make it expensive to change your assignment so that drives reduced usage, but you’ll still fly quite a bit.

I would plan on being used and be happy if you get a day off. It’s seasonal, but ideally on a four day block you’ll only get used 3 days as most trips are 3 days. You also get sorted by usage during the month with those used the least called first, so if you get used you’ll go down the list.

Weekend reserve is junior but you’ll make decent money.
