And yet the majority did have to. Ironic, eh?

Maybe, but you'll have a hard time finding many (or any) who regret doing so........

True, just as most regional pfters don't regret doing so.

Possibly.

I wouldn't know anything about that PFT BS, as it wasn't even a bad idea yet when I was at the regionals. Valujet was a real trendsetter in that dept.

Not sure where you get 17 days off for a reserve line holder. Reserve lines are always 15 days in the 30-31 day months and 14 days in February. Generally consist of three 4-day blocks and one three day block in the 30-31 day months. They pay 90 TFP in most months and 84 TFP in February. You cannot line improvement trip trade with the company. You can trade or giveaway your reserve with other pilots though. You can also end up with 6 days of reserve in a row with monthly overlap or a nine day block that consists of 4 days on 1 day off and another 4 days on reserve.

This^^^^ is why reserve needs to be fixed and should've been a long time ago

I think it's 16 days off on a 31 day month, no? I have 16 days off in May.

Sorry if I got it wrong.

Thanks for setting me straight Orion. Typically 15-16 as you stated above.
