Would it be possible to work 6 days a week, to build up 4 day off in a row?
Bear in mind that this place will likely implode with the summer schedule. Nobody can get time off now, it’s not going to get better.

I’m done answering my phone on days off!

I generally won't take a standup on a day off unless I'm getting 13 hours of pay for it. 1:1 duty rig!

DIOE is the code used when an FO is displaced from a trip so that the captain can do IOE to another pilot (new, hire, upgrade, transition, etc). Always pay protected; most of the times they will put another trip and some rare times you are given time off.

STOL is short takeoff and landing but I don't see the relation to this post.

Thanks...Freudian slip on STOL! I meant what is SWOL ?

175 LAX FO.

Well, a combination of drops, exchanges and open time postings. What I haven't been able to drop, I've managed to post in open time and they've been picked up like hot cakes! It has never been a major problem getting 7 days off straight if you're willing to be creative.

Would you be able to do that at most bases, on the 175?
Sounds good! 7 day off in a row would suit me great, then work as much as possible the other days of the month.
