From: Left seat, wait right seat, no no left seat, nope right seat! Ummmm, I guess I am confused
So how much flying time can we realistically expect in the Saab over the next year and what is the best way to get the most?

You can pick up trips in open time so long as you don't go below 10 days off per month. So if you have 11 off in your schedule, you can only pick up one extra day of flying. Open time flying pays at 1.5 times your normal rate, so it is a way to make some extra $ as well.

avg days off for DTW this month was 14 days off. only a few lines had less days off. 
It's gonna be a mad house with people upgrading and there will be many trips in open time from FO's who are upgrading and had their lines dropped to go ground school.
If you want to fly, you'll get it. Tell Crew scheduling you want "first out reserve." Back during my first divorce I called scheduling and told them to get me out of the house to keep my sanity. They flew me a ton.
