To get Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings off

you could bid to start late on Sunday. You’d finish your 4 day trip on Wednesday night late.

but your chances of getting red eyes are higher with that preference.

but relying on dropping to be able to pick up from open time in Dfw is not reliable.

usually there isn’t the open time that fits what you’ll need. Most open time in Dfw will be working over the weekends and there is competition from the line holders at other bases who live in Dfw who also pick the Dfw open time.
