That's right... but it wasn't really anything to do with a carryout trip. If you went over the 'Cap' you picked up 'Bow wave' which could drop a trip in the next month. Spill back could be used to fill up to the cap or replenish bank. Ah, the days of no flying to FAR limits. I predicted we'd end up here someday, and here we are. Now the reroute situation is going there and soon reserve staffing will too. Time to get senior and stay there...
