As much as I dislike current scheduling practices, who is getting 7 days off a month? Minimum is 12 so that would imply that people are going over the 10 junior mans as that would be 5/month and they would have been done with junior mans after 2 months. But it's also been stated that no one is at or over 10. Something doesn't add up here.

People are over the 10 junior man threshold (I’m one of them), but most of us in that boat are doing so for tactical reasons (example: accept a junior man assignment on day one of a trip that starts more than 6 hours before original showtime, use the day in lieu, I’ve now created an “extra” day off in my schedule). If you are consistently getting only 7 days a month off, its probably because you are not using days in lieu, which is a mistake.

Sometimes you finish a trip on day four and no one tries to extend or junior man you into more flying or days off.
