You will be assigned shadow time for the last week of the month and probably for a few days ibto the next month. You want to cram as much time as possible ibto the shadow time. The trip only has to touch the shadow. If you are in a category with 12 day trips you want a 12 day trip in that shadow ect.. If your shadow extends into the following month you want another 12 day trip touching it. If your a domestic pilot you want to try and get two 5 day trips touching that week.
