Assuming the airline survives (I give us one chance in three), this is best looked at as a glorious summer. An entire summer off, with paychecks?
Already lost 20 lbs, and after some initial friction, wife and I are getting along great, and that 3 week backpacking trip I've wanted since college graduation is about to become a reality. The $$$ cost is a bit high ($150k++ in lost income with the downgrade, no bonuses, and wage stagnation), but I agree...make the most of it, if your finances allow.
Why worry about what you can't possibly control?

Agreed, 100%.

This may sound silly.....but it's because I'm a professional pilot and I want to be somewhat current and qualified on my jet. And I'd rather fly a trip than go to Va. Ave. and do a sim.

Bump. I got another question. Can I YS a trip on XDays and is it assigned using the same rules?(Days of avail being most important and its assigned day before) If I get it, do I get the Xdays back, even if they go into the next month? Thanks

Yes you can YS on X days. Look at 23.N and 23.O for the callout ladders to see where a reserve YS’ing on X-days would fall. No, if you volunteer to work on an X-day you don’t get it back.

You don’t get those days back...PB days are for GS and IA’s (23.S.9)
