Not sure how many times this can be answered in a 160 something pages.

But YES.

Now with that said, this month I will be out 16 days in one pattern with one carry in. So, that is 17 work days and 14 off. In April I was at home for my 11 off( 2 stolen for x day pay) + 2 heavy rest days + 5 resident standby days.

So after all is said and done, I am home for 18 days and book 97 hours pay. Its an adventure, if you try to make it anything else you are going to be miserable. ( and so will everyone you fly with :-) )
