It can depend a lot on the base too. I'm Dallas based. I just finished a 4 day reserve block on which they assigned me a HOU trip. DH to HOU, 2 legs (10 TPS)
Day 2, 3 legs (6.4), Day 3, 2 legs (6.74), Day 4 1 leg and DH to DAL. Total pay, 29.15 trips.
Last week, Did 3 days of Reserve. Not used on Day 1. then 2 day trip. DH and 1 leg, 2nd day 2 legs.
Before that, it varied between 2-4 legs a day.

F.O.
Half way up the list in mdw(3 1/2 years).
824 block per year, although waning as wife has landed job at a regional and will advance fast).
This question is loaded because of ELITT (best thing since sliced bread).
I work as much or as little as i want, when i want and where i want.
And for the rj peeps. My 2nd-3rd year pay at swa was 175k, (no NOT including per diem🙄
(without batting much of an eye lash, either).

just curious if getting extended amounts of days off in a row is a possibility with your guys' system. I come from a PBS system/other system where getting 7-10 days off straight every month was easy to get after 2-3 years seniority.
sounds like you guys get a lot of days off in general per month but usually in blocks of max 3-4 days off as a time... is this the case? does the system allow you to change things up? thx!

Currently, with 2-3 years seniority, getting 8-9 days off in a row is no problem at all.
That’s just normal bidding. With vacation you can parlay that into a huge chunk. I have vacation next month (one week) and I am off from the 4th to the 23rd.
With PBS, the system could have bookended my vacation with flying days and I would have had 7 days off in a row instead of 20.
