My worry is bidding the line, bidding off those days (cause, you know, I need them... off!!), then being told "Congratulations, here's your carry-out trip!" Looking hard at the APD on 31 Mar as the only true "guarantee"--but, if I can hit 1 Apr with that APD (on a REG off day), so much the better....

Thanks for the pointers!
I know you said you didn't want to give up a weekend, but if you can bid off 1-3Apr and coverage is good in Mar, you could swap and X day to 31Mar to avoid a carryout. If they did make you fly that day, it would generate a PB day you could then drop on 2 Apr if it was necessary. That wouldn't cost you any pay in Mar.
