I use to block 40-50 hrs and credit 100+
I will not get into "helping the company" at this point but if you call to fly on your day off as a lineholder is WF (will fly) in there system. As a lineholder its 150%, as a reservist you are technically only able to pick up a reserve day (yet you get to tell them the hours). There are many new FO's here so I hope we don't teach people how to go down to 7/8 days off in hopes of a few extra bucks- totally ruins the union's push for more min days off and better crew coverage.
