Word. In my head, I was thinking, what’s really the difference? Either way, you’ll probably end up flying around two weeks out of the month, so you might as well get full quicker and then try to grab QS, GS, or, if nothing else is available, a YS 3-day. Seems like you could still end up with 12–13 days off.
Again, I haven’t actually done it, so I may be completely wrong.
