August schedules are released. I looked at 8 random categories. I did not find one single day in Aug where a APD or IVD would not be granted and most of the time a PD would work. That’s very different from what your trying to portray. Again not one single day in 8 categories for a IVD or APD.
Edit: This post just in from the man who states you can’t drop trips for more time off in the summer!

Those will all change before the 20th is done. Now my category has 3 black days and they are 2 Saturdays and a Sunday. My bid package has 76% of the hours in 5 day or greater trips, of those 95% touch a Saturday or Sunday. We use to have 18 hour 3 days and turns, not any more, and this is the second summer with domestic and international mixed which tanks the international and domestic quality. No matter your previous preference, now half your trip will be what you never thought you'd do. BTW, how long is your "summer?" I'm talking about June, July and August.
