I will need to know for next year. I want to learn this trick or contract provision.
Transition conflict was a total score. I suspect they won't make that mistake again. It appears they are optimizing the potential to bid conflicts out of the package as well.
For Lemonade - if the line awarded during your vacation month has a trip or two that on either of each ends touches your scheduled vacation block they have to drop the entire trip(s) and pay protect you for it.
Hence, being paid to do nothing.
However, it certainly isn't a trick. It was fought for by those that came before you. Welcome aboard.
