If you select DROP ALL and bid trips that just barely touch the beginning and end of your vacation, one week will blow a 3 week wide hole in your schedule. If you got a line with 3 four day trips, you are left with 1 four day trip remaining for the month.

Then you can give it away, trade down, break it up into smaller trips and give away, ELITT down, etc. It's a bit of work, but you can make those remaining four days go away and then you have the entire month off.

Your pay will be the 26.25 for the vacation plus part of but not all of the dropped trips. So you are basically going for maximum days off and willing to drop pay below min to get it.

Anyone else having the issue of you can't see the last page unless you respond?

Have tried mobile and desktop on phone, and desktop on desktop. Same in all 3.

Shows 3 pages, click on page 3, brings you to page 2. respond, then you can see last page.

Mods, I think this comes up when threads get pruned or people hard delete posts, but it's been a long time and many vbb versions since I was a forum mod.

NEC (non-elective contribution) is the SWA B Fund. It’s currently at 17% going to 18%.

Skywest 5/6 yr captain

bid reserve all year

ytd block: 605

total gross ytd (one check remaining): 297k

money off 300% trips: 131k

average monthly nights at home: 24

Been a solid year with open time pickups but hoping to hideout on reserve on a wide body somewhere next year. Goal will always be the same though. fly as little as possible for the most money.

Yes that's when it happens. Go to: User CP/Edit Options/Number of Posts to Show Per Page

Whatever you currently have selected, change to something else. That usually works.

Yep. 125 average credit, 52 average block. Low month: 95, High Month: 161. A lot of premo and double dipping (bought off sweet trips by management/ Captain TI's).

I combine 6 weeks vaca with strategic use of my big_O sick leave balance to boost my time off...

This is encouraging for the old timers out there that never saw 6 figures at a regional. This needs to continue because the training and commitment it takes to make this a career deserves a proper reward regardless of timing and luck. Well done.
