I wouldn't even go that far. You're bidding on a potential footprint, nothing more. At least on the 767, we have often seen a patterned trip or a long stretch of R-2 magically disappear a few days before it starts, to be replaced with R-1 and a huge loss in credit. Things seem to be getting better now, but the smart move is to bid for your days off (or days on) and assume every trip is min guarantee, all R-1, until proven otherwise.

YMMV
