If you start out with a 95 hour line, getting it bumped up to 120 can be done without too much effort.
Relief lines have the potential to be turned into gold.
No vacation. Ground school yes. I bid around #40 out of PHL. I had a relief line with a fair amount of flying.... well under 75 hours block credit though. Although I was a victim of the 2 winter weather events early in the month somehow I was not able to profiteer from either one. I have had to commute a day early or late only twice (typically 3-4 times per month). On another lucky note I just found out a 3-day has been dropped with pay so my LCA captain can do OE for a furlough recall... that's just a lucky break.
This month is an anomaly for me, but usually I can break 100 hour credit without too much hassle or additional sacrifice.
