my entire schedule was 4 day trips and if I try trading them all at once, I'm afraid that I'll get something worse
Just parameratize the requests to accomplish your objective. That will keep it from giving you a less desirable trip. But be prepared for multiple iterations. It may take several batch runs to get where you want to be. I've even had cases where I was certain I would have to fly a crap trip then 2 days prior in the last possible batch run it traded or dropped. So like most things in life, not giving up is the key.
As Jules is complaining about the board will be red then when you least expect it the trade goes through. That's where proper parameters are key, you don't want a crappy commutable trip turning into a less crappy uncommutable one.
