If there are a ton of seats and the weather is good and a backup causes me to have to leave a lot earlier then I dont sweat the backup. If the loads are crazy and/or the weather sucks then I might have 8 backup plans. I have never missed but it is my understanding you probably wont even be called unless in NYC. even then, so what.

But our commute policy is awesome. Plus the ability to book the JS.

In theory you could fly 80 hours as a line holder in about 18 consecutive days. 14-15 days of flying with a few days off in there for FAR 117. Just bid the last 10 days off and whittle it down as you move through the layers. Also, use the "maximize string of days off" property.
I did this once, so it is possible. Front loaded my flying into the first 20 days of May and then back loaded my June flying into the last 20 days so as to take a 20-day vacation that straddled May and June. I will tell you that flying a full month in about 18 days is pretty fatiguing.
If you're on reserve, it's much tougher to do.

I could find it in the following 14 pages of scheduling, but for PBS is there a way for someone to work say 16-17 day work block them be off for the rest of the month?
Or does PBS always finds a way to spread your trips across the month, regardless of seniority?
Thanks

Easier said than done during pbs bidding
Post pbs:
with trip trading and trip that has a 30hr layover you smash trips together for a longer work block POST pbs award. I do this sometimes.
English, do I even speak it?? Hopefully you get what I was trying to say
