Way too many variables. The base closest to you has someone at about 50% with 7 of 10 weekend days off in May and some reserves (bottom 10%) with 9 of 10 weekend days off. Typically, a senior reserve can get all weekends off. But you're essentially right, all weekend off lineholders are well into the top half of the group.

Please don't confuse the G line with the actual G spot. Although they both provide some gratuitous feelings of joy and excitement, it has been observed that one should be above the G line to have an optimum bidding experience. However, if you are below the G line be careful because you may lose your place in the line and feel as though you'll never really find the elusive G spot. If you can't figure it out, you can probably get Colonel Angus to bid for you.

Every month the company publishes average, min, and max line values. Every line built must fit between the min and max. In slow months the min is 70 hrs. In busy months it's 77. So basically you'd have to work an extra 7 hrs to get to the min in a busy month. This equates to 1-1.5 days.
I basically bid low credit and then pick up an extra short trip if I need the $$. I'd rather work when I feel like it.
Still, bidding a low credit line in a busy month would yield 16-18 days off depending on your seniority and how you bid.
Hope this helps.

In May I bid a low credit line and got 18 days off. I had 19 off last November. It's a trade off though. A low credit line pays a lot less.

At my previous airline, I usually had to do 4 4-days to make min line value. I like the possibility of bidding as you suggest and pick up a quick trip if I need the $$

What base and approximate seniority are you again to get this? EWR?
