What do you do during that time? Are you just base staff at that point? Do you do *any* flying to maintain the proficiency from Ph1?

Currently I'm working in tech-support, though I have no prior experience in the field. Mostly just filling odd jobs and going to the gym. No flying other than ride-alongs.
