When you say "the first day of May is a day off" do you mean May 1--the LAST DAY of the April bid period--which means it is a reserve X-day....or do you mean "the first day of the May bid period" which is in fact May 2, AND you are holding a regular line, AND that means May 2 is merely a regular line day off?
I'm pretty sure you mean that you are on call Apr 28-May 1 (April bid period) and May 2 is a regular line day off, therefore might as well put in preferences to fly a nicer trip if you are going to fly anyway, add some hours to the May bid period, etc?
Yes. The trip starts on 28 Apr and ends on 2 May. The spill over credit would get me a few more hours in May and yes 2 May is just a line day off. My first trip in May starts in the 4th. I would not be flying on an x day just on a line day off but icrew would only let me put in a YS for the trip using the first to fly on x days option.
