Scheduling is very aware of it and will usually change the pattern to avoid those layovers in base. I was just extended out to 20 days involuntarily on my last mid pattern block of 17 days on a two month line. That is much more what people should expect if they decide to come here.
Is the extension to 20 days unique to a certain type? What type are you flying? And if you get pushed to 20 days, how many days off would follow?
