It's Yin & Yang, the principle that all things exist as inseparable and contradictory opposites.

For example....

Well I’ll be darned! All these years as a Chinese philosopher and you just hit me like a ton of sacks with that correction. I guess I’ll have to go back to the rocket surgeon academy get learned up.

I usually picked up 5 SCs and then went radio silent. Averaged about 7-8 SCs. I didn’t pack a bag most of the time.

Before the software caught up, I was picking up 12-13 SCs and was getting some good add pay. Once they fixed the glitch, I stopped at 5. I sometimes people caked up an extra SC to adjust my spot in the SILO.

For 737/320, yep. Not necessarily true for 757.

Wondering if I'd have better luck with not being assigned FSB/SC on every reserve day on the 75 fleet.
