Default 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. ^..^

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.
