Crappy line or Weekends off?
 
Ok fellas, Looks like I am 1 or 2 numbers away from holding a relief line( I hear QOL goes way up). Should I bid for that or bid for weekends off (Reserve). I would love to hold a relief line cause I never have, but Weekends off ( Looks like I will be able to hold, RESERVE of course) at this point sounds pretty da*n good, especially cause I havent had one since..........well the summer. I mean I am flying 90+ hrs a month on reserve, oh what to do what to do. I know everybody is different, but to you express guys what is your experience

I would take the relief line. Drinks are a lot cheaper during the week, compared to on weekends!

But I really have no clue how any of that 121 stuff works. ^..^

Well....I have no experience to tell of yet haha...but 90 hours a month with weekends off, sounds like a sweet deal to me.

if you can keep 90hrs a month up for as long as you can handle it, come mid November, you'll already be timed out, and imagine having a month and half vacation throughout the holiday's.

I think that it really depends on what you want, it's hard to setup schedules while sitting on reserve, and if your personal life is suffering, i'd say go for the relief line, but, if you're simply thinking about making $$, well, you know where to look.

yeah I like reserve dont care about weekends off but G/F is about ready to walk away from this, she cant handle it every weekend, "Joes Flying" she just bought a place she wants to spend time with me, I dunno its tough

Im tellin ya man, I dunno what to do. I mean being away 4 days at a time is one thing but weekends, going out with her friends and all of her friends are with their b/f', eventually we all know what thats going to lead to...........................:mad:

Well I caved in, I bid all the weekend off RESERVE lines first then the Relief lines, Im officially whipped :o
