Scenario A:
You bid for a late turn on day one for commutability. After you confirm scheduling calls and informs you that your turn has been appropriated and you'e been assigned a nasty 4 day that is all late night flying making it impossible to commute home on your last day. Normally this 4 day would have gone to a jr pilot but since it's appropriation and starts later than your trip scheduling does it anyway.

Scenario B:
You bid an AM short turn on your last day in the hopes of getting done early. Your turn gets appropriated and you're re-assigned a much later turn that prevents you from getting home. Perfectly legal, perfectly sucky.

Scenario C:
You proffer for a trip that includes an overnight at home. Your at home overnight gets appropriated and you get sent to EWR where instead of watching your kids basketball game you get to watch the inmates in the prison shoot hoops in the yard (This actually happened to a cool FO I was flying with. The guy who appropriated his overnight was an ass.)

Scenario D:
You're new on reserve and are looking for time to make consolidation and cement what you learned on IOE. You get a nice 4 day that gets appropriated so instead you spend 4 days watching law and order re-runs waiting for the phone to ring.


Also, I'm not so sure you would get a hotel if your overnight gets appropriated. The language in 11.E.1.d is kind of vague and other forms of displacement (eg. IOE displacement) go out of their way to mention it. Letter 13-13 does not.
