Depends how senior you are. If you can hold short trips, bid them and put them on the swap board. Guys can more easily take short trips, and the swap board is not limited to ALV+15.
I'd go to the category with the most short trips where I had the most seniority and then bid good trips, dropping them strategically to get off the extra time needed. Good luck with the family issues.
