There was likely more open time last year but most of it never got posted. Now this system has at least a little bit of transparency.

Our open time most of the time comes out two ways. Either short out and backs like ANC-JFK-ANC, or full trips like ANC-ICN-HKG-ANC or even longer like LAX-HNL-SYD-BKK-HKG-ANC-LAX. Majority are full trips, out and backs (what you would call city pairs) are somewhat rare. Both have ups and downs. A long trip can be 7 days but may credit 80 hours, so they pay pretty well. And if you are senior and have a 17 or 18 day off line, you can make a good bit of money and still keep your first wife.
(Or you can just happen to be sick that month, work 7 days, credit 80 hours, and have 23 days off..)
