Depending on the base and the type of available trips, you should be able to stack 4+2 or 3+3. You'll need some seniority for that. It will help that you can work weekends. You'll need trips which don't exceed the company FAR 117 buffer, which IIRC was 28 block hours in six days. Also need their buffer between trips (12 hours?). So you'll be looking for trips which have some some soft credit vice all block.

It’s possible to work 6 days straight. Some work even more in a row because they will have 30 hour layovers. That essentially lets he clock reset and you’re good to work more. Plan to work 19 days a month on line. Junior bases are ATL DTW MSP.

Which one? Waive max block in 7 has been a selectable parameter since 117 as far as I know. 10:45 has been the min time between pairings in PBS for as long as I can remember as well.

I've managed to drop and pick up trips so that I have 7 days off straight (sometimes more) each month. Have done this the last 3 months. It gives me time to go overseas and explore the world on our very generous travel benefits.
