I lived on morning turns for almost 4 years, living in SDF you can have a pretty good QOL with them but many folks strongly dislike them.
Yea, makes sense. I figured if they existed, they would be fairly senior. Thanks for the quick reply!
Ive also seen reference to "conflict bidding" and im fairly certain I know what that means, but just to confirm.... this would be where you pick up two lines that have overlapping trips and planning then drops those trips cause they touch each other (or some variation of that). When do they drop trips or take things off your schedule as it pertains to "touching", either training, other trips, vacation or otherwise?
