Wow! that's pretty bad for many reasons.
1. Our "bottom of the schedule" lines have a minimum of 12 days off.
2. 35 hours?! Man if we get 75 hour lines, which are the lowest, they usually come with 15 or more days off. With being really under coverage right now for the summer, everyone is getting a minimum of 12 days off and 88+ hour lines.
3. I just made 90 hours on reserve with 12 days off and spent all 12 of those days at home.
Again, what are you saying with "How many days off do you need when you're already only working 35 hours?" That sounds like you don't care if you don't get that many days off and your pay is always the minimum monthly guarantee. Anytime you are crediting less than 75 hours a month, you should be getting more than 14 days off, otherwise those days aren't being even remotely productive.
I'm sure a lot of the other guys can chime in how much they credit with minimum day off lines and usually it is over Minimum Monthly Guarantee. This isn't meant to be a "ExpressJet is God" post, because I have seen even more productive usage elsewhere, but my goodness, 10 days off and you only make minimum monthly guarantee?
