That does suck, and it's why I never bid trips back to back. The thought of that much time away without a single night in my bed runs chills up my spine. However - you really didn't get Mesa'd - the same stuff happens everywhere. You didn't technically get a day off stolen or anything, and if WX is involved there's really no foul. You may have work-rules that address this particular situation, but I seriously doubt it. And I can't see how you'd have broken any 117 issues, as long as you were given proper rest 'tween FDPs. You just stepped on a 'land-mine' dude; it happens; even when you're a LAMA.
I just needed to stop home between trips, which it looks like I'm going to be able to do, so it'll work out. It did seem like there could be a work rule issue with the two trips existing separately and and then being rolled together.
