I bid carryover regularly, but always protect min days off and I have NEVER come close to those numbers. Take a look at the schedules of some of the top 20 guys in the right seat.............if they allow it. Like I've said before, never trust a Captain that wears a hat when he doesn't have to, and never trust a guy that blocks his calendar.
So by your logic, picking up a trip is also "working overtime at straight pay." Should no one pick up open time?
