wtf can you do with that.
Also, I'm in the same situation as OP and am thankful for everyone's input as well.
It’s not really about the 6 hour PTO accrual or burning PTO. Let’s say you get awarded some awful 2 day trip. Round 1 swap window opens and you wanna get rid of it but you’re right at 70 hours. Some guys will PTO the trip, burning 10 hours of PTO but with intention of grabbing something better as the month rolls along. This will recoup the 10 hours of PTO you originally used while giving you a better trip or a better schedule as you called it.
