They do this when it favors them but not the pilot. Plenty of mil pilots would love to retain a portion of their trip and pay when (for instance), they just need one or two days for a mandatory drill weekend they couldn’t hold off. But alas, there’s no mechanism to drop only specific conflict days. The company, though, will find a way to put you to work if they’re short. Funny how that works.
