I'm not sure that is entirely correct. Before I got furloughed in January the FA's had begun part time flying, and if I remember correctly, they had two weeks off per month and would fill the other two with 4 days or a combination of trips to equal half a month's guarantee. But that's what I remember and may or may not be true.
