I have to agree with you Captain. I think it is a good thing especially with the limit on short calls. If they have not rested you somewhere by day 7, you are basically on 24hr long call. If they have rest you, you might get out of one of your reserve days.
It would be nice if PBS treated it as a waiver type of bid request, default of max 6 days, but able to get up to 9 in a row if requested.
