Depends on the coverage. For example, tomorrow we need 6 guys on reserve and we have 6, so there's no moving that day. I've been trying for a month. Monday? We need 5 and have 18. I could do whatever I wanted to that day. Also, likely 10 guys will get LCR for that as a LOT of guys are starting a 4 day stretch on Mondays.

I tend to need Fridays off, which means I start on a Saturday. As the weekends are normally not overstaffed at all, I rarely get LCR due to coverage. If I started on Mondays like a lot of the senior guys who want weekends off do, I'd get a lot of LCR days.

If there's a trip in open time you'd rather fly instead of getting SCR, you can bid for it through FLiCA. Just make sure you use the correct spot to bid for it. Using the normal open time bid spot instead of the reserve assignment one will just get you denied since you've already got a reserve day covering that period. I used to do that all the time in BOS when I saw I'd be sitting around the crashpad for 3 days.
