Only way I'm doing more than 75 is if I get a greenslip. I fly with tons of captains who consistently do 85-90hrs a month at straight pay. Blows my mind, but to each their own!

A wise man once told me “When your kids get older, they’ll never say ‘Dad, you should have worked more.’”

They might...when they’re trying to pay for college.

No kidding. Time with family is way more important, imo.

Trade school. Mike Rowe would agree.

I know there's a feature somewhere in icrew that shows my rest status, but I've been looking for 20 minutes and can't find it. Any help?

Empty nesters looking for something to do other than stare out the window wishing the winter was over and they could get the joints to work like they used to. I don’t blame them and I fly with them a lot. There’s a reason they all go to Florida, Arizona and Texas.

At 10-12 year captain's pay, single pay is the same as a green slip on 2nd - 4th year FO pay (depending on category) so in many cases you're stating you'd fly single pay above 75 every month too. In addition, I don't see too many captains WSing bid package garbage, but instead are grabbing the broken trips after CS chops them up. Sure, there are a few who will WS or OOBWS a standard bid package trip out of open time and fly to FAR maximums, but those are the minority.

Click "Current Schedule" then click "OK." When that next screen pops up (has the rotations you have flown, if any), click on "Display Reserve Rest Period Info" (2nd from the bottom) and that will show all your rest periods.

Thanks! I'm not sure if my eyes or my memory is worse. I've checked that thing a dozen times before and for some reason just couldn't find it this morning.

EDIT: is there a FDP calculator somewhere as well? I'm on SC today and for grins I ran a 1 day trip that was covered by another pilot against my line in the rules auditor and I got a 60/168 FDP violation that I'd like to investigate.
