Also be very aware of the trip block hour total. With the 6-day trips that are prevalent at the bottom of the list in my base, I have to watch out for the '100hrs block in 672' and the '30hrs prospective rest in 168' rules when trying to stack trips.
I've screwed up trying to put one month's flying too close to the last month's flying. I've also missed GSs several times where I had a block of days off, but I hit the 100/672 limit.
