Tango Uniform is right, its all about days of work with these jokers not just hours...company policy now is no more than 15 days off even if someone wants to pick your trips up. Like he said they'll stick you with AD days just to be d!@ks if they cant squeeze the flight hours outta ya. The only real time we see a string of more than 3 or 4 off anymore is after or before a ULR in which case your either completely shattered or forced to be in dubai due to acclimatization.
