I'm about 40% in base and my trips are all commutable for the most part with 16 days off. The only time that changes is if I bid for something like a week off for snow skiing or something like that. When I ask for a week off it still has to build my 82hr line so then I'm more lax. Perhaps it's because of our contract but I can't imagine anything better. Being able to say "I want trips that start after 10am" is a HUGE plus for anyone not living in base.
