Don’t expect much flexibility in your line schedule, at least from crew scheduling. I have t been able to successfully drop even a turn in over two years without having to take a sick day, personal day or borrow from next years vacation.
They will simply tell you not enough resources even though there are 25 sitting reserve that day.
You can have some luck trading stuff but again, don’t expect help from the company in this regard. Crew scheduling is most certainly antagonistic towards the pilots.
