WB B living in base. 1-2 SC per month used rarely. Currently averaging 1 LC trip a month. With VAC average around 77-78 credit per month.
If I commuted, or they used reserves more than 2 trips per month, I’d probably take the upgrade instead.

I will say winter is pretty brutal to those who want a line. Typical schedule that I saw (I bid reserve often) was two 32-35 hour trips, adding up to around 66 hours (which was just at the bottom of the LCW). Most trips were 6 day trips, so there was no way to pick up a third one. Any 3 days that showed up were sucked up by the senior pilots.
