I was hoping to drop to the 3 day bucket to avoid the 4 day trip without adding any extra exposure to be used.
It seems I'd be volunteering to be used first if needed to fly should a 3 day come into open time.
I could volunteer for short call but as I've been used for every single short call since the new contract so I'm not really up for that either.
I was hoping to get something for nothing.

I'm sure you know this, but it bears repeating for the masses: those trips will get filled before the SCs. Trips are filled 2 days out and SC, the morning prior. So in your situation, if you are the senior of 3 in a DoA bucket with 2 trips, it would seem the junior pilots would fly, possibly leaving you holding the bag for SC.
