There is some flexibility, but you have to work with the Chief Pilot. They have, in my experience, always been accomodating as long as they don't wind up being overstrength, and you aren't asking for something outlandish that doesn't also benefit the company.

Your schedule should roll right about 20 or 24 days a year. Meaning if you start your first rotation on 1 June this year, your 4th trip will start about... 22 June in 2021. That is about the only downside from my foxhole. I had an almost perfect schedule for over 4 years, and this summer it starts to unravel. It will be 3 years before I get Christmas, Easter/ Spring Break, and the Summer school Break off.
