How long are your out for.....

Why would they mind if you want to stay out?
It is a pain in the backside to get a driver home, so the less you do it the happier the planners are.

I usually take home time every 4 weeks or so. I have family in three parts of the country, so I rotate between them.
I am currently trying to save for a new computer, and I intend to stay out until I have the cash that I need.
Looks like I'll be out 6-8 weeks this time, because I can't seem to get 2 weeks in a row with really good miles.
Plus the ex needed some extra help this month, which put me behind a week.

 

Hmmm... take it and bump the hometime a few days?

 

Depends on how important it is that you get home.

 

Sometimes you can't bump hometime.

 

Well, these past couple weeks haven't been good to me.
I'll probably be staying out a few more, basically missing one home time.

It doesn't bother me so much (because I need to retime my Thanksgiving home time to be in Denver) , but I wish the miles were more consistent.
It's hard to save cash when I have one great week for every two bad ones.

 

Home time ... it's highly over rated.

 

I agree...

 

6-8 weeks...I just bop around the country...then I get tired,crave alcohol...and need to visit my mom and children if not going to the Philippines....

 

Unless you're married (and want to stay that way) and have 2 young kids (like I do).
I probably take twice as much hometime as the "normal" solo O/O @ Swift.

 

My wife is used to me being out 3-5 weeks. She knows that the longer out, the more money. She likes money, put in bank, retirement soon.
