I was Jan 28th RJ class of 08 and got SLC during IOE. I have a couple people below me in the base. I was really really lucky. Nobody else after me has been awarded SLC. Last summer I flew a lot, flew very little in the fall (15-30 hours per month,) and it picked up a bit again over the holidays. It's hard to say what my schedule will do this winter. I imagine a lot more sitting at home. Living in base on reserve isn't bad though. I get lots of locals that guys drop, and the occasional 3 or 4 day. Good luck.
