I would much rather be understaffed than overstaffed, you can get away with murder. Put in requests to fly an open trip tomorrow but drop your next trip with pay, etc. Scheduling only cares about getting things staffed today, not next week, they will deal with that later.
Invest the extra money, pay down debt, etc. Don't go out and buy new toys. Not yet. That is your get out of jail free money. There will be plenty of time to bid minimum credit in your careers. Think long term, not short term. Yeah, it's sweet to play Xbox all day right now, but what about in 10 years? Wouldn't it be nice to have a paid off house, cars, boat, and half a mil in the bank as FU money? That's when you can chill and work for min guarantee.

When will PDT training department get their sh*t together?? you'd think having to offer triple premium pay to cover trips would be incentive enough to kick things into gear. right now its SIX MONTHS from date of hire until you make the company a single dollar

I'll let you all know how the wait is after I start. They admitted sims were backed up about a month, but said it was quickly improving. No, you don't need to say what I know you are about (want) to say... HA

I kid you not when I tell you that you WILL wait several weeks in between every step of the training process before you move on to the next step
