So if you know your system (and it allows it), getting 15-20 days off that spans two months is relatively easy. I did it a good bit with a previous system.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, I was doing that before 117. I got so sick of working my tail off for those stretches I started to ease back. But it was fairly easy to get a stretch of 10-12 days off when I wanted. Pair that up with 5-6 days off at the beginning of the next month and you have a nice stretch.

I'd rather they keep their $ and just splurge on getting everyone single occupancy hotels during training.
But that's just my issue I guess…
What are junior bases these days or is it changeable with so much growth?

I was just told today, that there will be a lot of movement between the bases as DEN opens up and planes shuffle to new locations, so it's difficult to say what you can bid as a junior.

You can tell our POI is an old school guy with all the David Clarks listed. Not even light speed?
The uflymike can be TSO'ed for a little more money so hopefully the QC15/25 will be approved eventually

You'd think they'd just buy out an entire floor of the hotel for a discounted corporate rate and everyone could have singles.
of course if there's an odd number in class.. or a girl, that can effect things as well roommate wise.
