How would it be possible to have more then 11 days off per month? Or is that not a possibility if you are a reserve pilot? I often read posts where guys are talking about working 16 or 17 days in a month, and how much they credited, how do you get more then 11 days off in a month? Is there a bidding method that allows you stack trips or days in order to meet a flight/duty time obligation, however having more then the set 11 days off? Is 11 days a hard number?

Thanks again for the info, it is very helpful.
