Basically, you are bidding only for your DAYS of work and your days off, not the actual trips. If you can't accept that, then don't come here because you will be miserable. As far as the bidding lines go, they are a mesh of 30 and 60 day lines. Some have big blocks of time on (17 days), others are split into smaller blocks. You always have at least 5 days off between work blocks (with some small exceptions).
In other words, we are charter pilots!
