There are at least a dozen trips in open time for that weekend. It’s even worse the last weekend of the month, 26 of 32 reserve lines got hit with coverage on that weekend. I’m uber junior but always try and get a line because i find I have much more control over the schedule even though I’m deep into the garbage trips.
Without giving us a category to look at its hard to answer your question. It may well be that enough pilots bid the 4th trips so there was no stack. The 4th falling on a Thursday also changes things. Many pilots may have preferred the weekend after off when many parties and displays are scheduled.
