As a commuter sure, and only if it were completely optional. Problem is it wouldn't be optional and lineholders living in base could end up being gone for four nights at a time and some don't want that.

Nooooo! 4 on 4 off. Pick your trip mix for the 4on with pure lines.

I'm not sure exactly. Few months for DTW. There really isn't an easy way to figure that out that I can think of.

if the trips were higher credit you would never need 5-6 days in a row, 3 x 25hr 4days and you are done for the month, all i get (7+ yr ca) is 4day+2day or 3day+3day, 18hr 4days or 13.5 3day, im a commuter and its a horrible quality of life

I would trade my new payrates for the ability to reserve drop like we used to. Once you lose QOL you don’t get it back.

Sorry I don’t agree. My point was those that actually treat this like the full time career it is never had a good quality of life. We shouldn’t have to drop half our payrates and then drop another half in credit to have qol.
