Reserve question?
If you bid to have 10+ days in a row on call, are really senior, do you have a greater chance of being used versus breaking-up on call days into smaller days of availability?
My category is domestic with the longest trip being 4-days.
My goal is to not be used.
Thanks

Ahhh the Prist!
Makes my heart go pitter pat just thinking about putting that little metal clip on the end of the fuel nozzle!
And hey, FTB, guess what? I FORGOT to BID for CQ in Dec. which was my early month...
BUT... here's a good thing I never knew about bidding CQ, it had my last CQ bids (from last April) still stored in there, and it used my "Avoid A Periods" to give me something in Dec. that's not too bad for a commuter, D to C, well away from Christmas and my wife's B-day!
So, what could have turned into a "Forgot to Bid" CQ Schedule disaster, worked out not too badly.
Thank DOG it saved my April bids!

We'd tell you, but you are senior.

Yes, but I might retire early. With your attitude, I might stick around!

Depends. In smaller category I would say no. In a large category I would say provably..........if you have adequate coverage.
Also, what is the coverage of nearby bases? Just when you think you are off the hook in LAX/SLC you get assigned a trip to cover the other base.
What month? In Nov/Dec a lot of guys want to fly a lot early in the month under the misconception that they can then coast through the holidays - OBTW this never works.
