You can customize a GS or WS to cover almost any set of circumstances. Put in for what you actually want and then you don't have to worry about it. They system more then a day out is computerized. It would be impossible to have it I will fly it if I feel like it system. Simple example.
Pilot A wants 3 day trip with layovers in LAS.
Pilot B wants 3 day trip with layovers in LAS first then wants any 3 day trip.
7 am window is run. Pilot A gets LAS trip.
Pilot B gets 3 day to with double Jackson MS layovers.
At noon pilot A decides he does not want the LAS trip and declines it.
Pilot B files grievance ect....
In a large category you would have to rerun the WS awards every single time a pilot declined a trip. I can assure you the company is not going to go for that.
