your best option to do that would be to bid reserve. We have the ability to bid all 12 days off in a row. Potentially stringing 24 days off in a row from month to month. Being junior would affect your ability to actually achieve that, but I would imagine you could get stretches of days off during non peak travel seasons. Whether that sticks around with a new joint contract is a mystery.
