you do have the ability to pick what reserve period you want.
I know what you’re saying, and yes as seniority goes up you’ll more likely than not get what RAP you request (with a few possible bad luck scenarios), but a small correction/addition to what you said is RAPs are assigned after every reserve bidders’ days off are first awarded. As in they don’t run your request for days off then your request for RAP line by line; but rather two separate bids.
I think we’re sort of splitting hairs, but it’s important to know how the reserve lines are awarded and that you’re bidding for days off first(or not bidding days off at all and hoping the RAP you request lines up with whatever you got) then RAPs separately.
