Deoends on what you are getting excited about

Lower number of hours and making more money?
Or making the same amount of money either way.
For me - the less time spent in the air ends up meaning more time to work on *other* things that aren't nearly as exciting as flying. Either way - my pay is the same so more hours is better!

In June I took colgan to the Bank 82hrs/147 credit/8days off.

Positive Space entire month to the house. And I got 13days off at the end of it all.
To punish me in july I got paired with the worst Women Captain in Colgan History J.S.

I dare anyone to say that they did better than that?

Man, you just identified yourself.
