Gets Weekends Off

I live where I work (don't commute) & am on reserve. I get a minimum of 11 days a month off & so far for the month if February I've only flown 4 days. However, in January I flew 17 days. Like others have said, it varies.

Yes, repeat the whole process at least three more times...
