They also aren’t likely to swap mid duty block stuff if you need travel. You’d probably have to jumpseat in that case. They’ll gateway you from/to home at the beginning and end of your duty block of days.
swapping entire lines is more likely, but again, rare.
helps to keep a copy of the bidpack and the awards to see who has which schedule.
it’s a great company. Not the typical 121.
It's not a common practice here; good luck having scheduling sign off on it. However, if you don't get your original bid line, you can call scheduling and they'll work with you if you give them enough notice.
