Nah... he get's at LEAST 11 days off on bid months of 30 days... and 12 days off a month on bid months of 31 days.
Now... how often he's back home from one coast to the other... well... I guess we're seeing that.
K... he needs to start working the system. Does he know that if he's not used by 6pm on his last day of reserve... then he's done... even if his call time goes way past that? Does he know that he can start calling scheduling around noon and request to be released early? I was always on the 2pm flight out of EWR back to DFW on my last day of reserve... regardless of when my call times officially ended. That can help get him home for another whole day per week...
Food for thought...
