After crediting 80 hours per month for two months (RES with 7 days vacation), my wife asked if I missed flying. All I did was 2-3 short calls per month and no trips. I did miss flying, so I flew 80 hours the next month. 12 days was alot of work.
Summer will look different, but 80 hours isn't equal in all categories.

EDIT: is there a FDP calculator somewhere as well? I'm on SC today and for grins I ran a 1 day trip that was covered by another pilot against my line in the rules auditor and I got a 60/168 FDP violation that I'd like to investigate.

... unless you mean the 60 degrees longitude rule?
If a flightcrew member travels more than 60 degrees longitude in a FDP or series of FDPs and is away from home base for 168 consecutive hours, the crewmember must be given 56 consecutive hours of rest upon return to home base that must encompass 3 physiological nights based on local time. A physiological night’s rest means 10 hours of rest that encompasses the hours of
0500 and 0700 at the flightcrew member’s home base, unless the individual has acclimated to a different theater.

What is a Q trip in open time? I see one I'd like to take but I don't see any way to get it on my schedule.
