[QUOTE="Oldfart, post: 2839343, member: 64407"] Depends on what your plans are for the next 5 years or so. If you want to make a better salary to supplement your military, you can double or more your PT hours and make the higher swing pay. Sock away some good money and scale back work later or just retire. Some of our PT people get 35 hours or more when they want and get 20 or so when they want to slow down. Our swings get plenty of hours and get the swing pay and make an good living. We even have PT swings and they get plenty of hours, just not the short term disability insurance that FT people get. Most of our swings are swings by choice and don't even apply for open routes. We usually have to hire for open routes from JCATS. Being a swing isn't for everyone and can get frustrating at times. I was a swing many many years ago. We didn't get swing pay and had to work AM and PM routes. Now there is swing pay and at our station, we have dedicated AM swings. Being PT and having plenty of free time has to be a good thing. Getting a big paycheck on Thur. is a good thing as well. You just have to decide if your current income is where you want to stay or do you make 1 more run at retirement money. [/QUOTE]
