Guys, as a new hire I have a question regarding that reserve stuff/days off:
My wife wants to move to Netherlands in 4 years from now (we also have European citizenship) and I’d like to know if is there any chance that with a 4 year seniority I can build my schedule to have 21/22 days off in the month (not in a row, of course)?
I’d be commuting from AMS back and forth to the USA and will get the base that gives me a better seniority (LGA most likely).
It might sound a crazy plan but depending on the days off I can get every month, it’d be feasible.

not sure about a full 21-22, but can def get close. I have a buddy that lives in Germany and does that. Based in LGA. Although he plans to move back to the states one day. But something you could do.

I sometimes bid 7 on, 2 off, 7 on, 1 off, 4 on rest of month off and start that cadence early in the month. They pretty much can only DHD you on day 7.
