Question, when you get a 9-day GS on RES and of those 9, 4 were previous RES days, then the only part that is over 70 hours (assume you flew 0 all month) is the 5 days that you were on an x day, right? I don't do a lot of GSing although 4 or 5 have gone out on the 88 today. But I'm out of town and up to my elbows in playdoh and lincoln logs and as you would assume, loving it.

We should keep this in mind when they close the ramp for lightning, some passengers in the back needed to be reminded its a life and death issue as so much is with aviation and passengers and crews need to be reminded.
