Once your seniority can hold it, a reserve should be able to bid 2 weeks on/2 weeks off or 1 month on/1 month off by bidding your days right month-to-month.
This is a solid QOL provision for ppl who want to live as an expat in Europe or Brazil or wherever else, in order to leverage currency differences, but you won’t hear about it on here bc all ppl are doing is getting wrapped around the axle over dystopian codesharing fantasies that our existing rules don’t prevent at all.
What data leads you to believe anyone except the top 1% can get 18 days in a row? We don't know how they intend to reprogram trips to lower cost. Many existing trips will no longer make economic sense (e.g. 10 hr 3 days). The TA does not explicitly promise any bidding results. I'd be careful giving the TA credit for allowing to bid X,Y,Z.
