Usually there is either one or the other so you can't really rebuild your schedule after you get it.
Not sure which fantasyland base you're working in but this is certainly atypical. In my base, on rare occasion there may be 2 or 3 drops available when a newbie comes off IOE, but then as soon as the next resigning pilot's trips are pulled all those drops go away. I am not sure I've *ever* seen a drop available for a Sunday.
