For example you can’t say “That horrendous 5 day trip in open time looks unpleasant, I’d like a short call instead please”.
Also don’t forget that based on how many days you have on reserve available, you may not get the trip you want anyway. If you YS a 3 day but have 4 days available, and someone else only has 3 days, they can get the 3 day and you get the crappier 4 day.
