Raitfaiter is atypical of the AOA misinformation corps.
In nearly 2 years on the freighter fleet I have been called out on reserve once and asked to extend into the 7th day once.
I have leave and RDO's when I requested them every time ....learn how to read into the leave points system....and have no probs planning for the "furure" (sic). Guess the only thing I really miss out on is living in DB with all the "children".....the majority of which are above the age of consent.
