I can understand within the same days as you were scheduled to fly but why more days? I have a trip that ended at 1000 on July 3rd, why does the union think it's a good idea or even ok to add flying till 1pm on July 4th.
So if you want July 4 off why should you have to bid no flying 4 days prior to that day just so u don't get screwed because we gave up July as a 31 day month in the last contract.
LOL... sorry man, that's a laugh of commiseration... I found out myself few months ago why no one bids carryout trips. Yes, they can totally hose you. I think they can add a whole day. ABSOLUTELY if the end of the trip is early or good, they will tag on a turn or something. Now I have "avoid carryout trips" pretty high up on my bid. If I want something, I by-name it and ensure that if they add one day I can either dump the trip (not touching a weekend), or it's already a 4 day with sufficient flying on last day to not tweak.
