Maybe one of the non 18 days off days???

Unless you’re in the to 10% of your seat here good luck dropping anything other than a 2 day during the week. I’m not a spirit qol hater, but the guys who claim to have carte blanche over their schedule are either very very senior or stretching the truth (edit: or have a bot)

I (we) (nobody) should be shocked with a red reserve grid in a summer where we carried 12-17% reserve staffing. This shouldn’t be a shock when our historical reserve staffing is about double the low end of that.

Now that the company got their peepees slapped and are increasing hiring and reserve staffing, the grid should be more solidly green going forward. Remember last year after summer, up until this summer collapse, grid was green green green. This was all pre Teddy trying to make a name for himself.

But yeah, when they barely have enough reserve coverage this summer to make 75% of the grid green by a day, it doesn’t take much in IOT to turn it red. But the company learned the hard way that doesn’t fly, and Teddy is now hiring every Tom, Dick, and Harry so he can keep his job a little longer.

Hello. My name is Tom.

Getting Sundays and Saturdays off is my biggest schedule priority. My schedule for August initially had me working 3 of 4 Sundays as well as Sunday the 1st of September. I ended up working only 1 of those and that one turned into a trip that I could commute home in time for church. Other than that one weekend, I haven't worked a Sunday or Saturday for the entire month. Every single trip was commutable except on the end of one of them. At this moment I'm sitting on 83 hours credit with 17 days off after X list trips. And I have the entire week off next week to get more. I bid around 80% in my base. This experience has been more normal than the exception for me.

So yeah....I'd say my QOL has been nothing short of fantastic for a junior guy who can barely hold a line even during the summer months.

I'm in the bottom 10% and this month, except for one Sunday, I had every weekend off and got everything that I wanted. Last month wasn't any different. September SUCKS though.

Idk...Teddy’s F up has been my gain. Making $64,000 in 2 months ain’t bad. Please Ted, keep those upgrades and new hires down to a trickle.

Speaking of hiring Tom, I hear there is a new FO on property with a similar name that claims he was abducted by aliens 👽 ...he’ll tell you about it too!

Haha. Good for you man. I love guys milking the misery from Teddy’s teat.

How is that for a visual imagery?
