And that hard bid line runs your life every single bid cycle. Some make it work but for many it's more restrictive. Spending time getting better schedules to fit your own lifestyle, or your families, is hardly a chore for most. Anything that takes a weekly commitment is impossible with a hard 8/6, 7/7, 15/13, schedule. But for some that schedule is a gold mine.
