One other BBJ operator that I know uses 2 month on and one off, so the 35 days on 31 days off sounds incredibly appealing, provided that they supply the tickets home. I also believe that the number of days off (31x5.5 approx) will allow people to keep their tax free status in certain parts of Europe.
AFAIK, that schedule applies to all of NJME crews and not just the BBJ drivers.
