Just clarification: at XJT you are guaranteed a minimum of 11 days off in a 30 day month or 12 off in a 31 day month. However, if scheduling rolls one of your days off...any of them...that day has to be restored to you. You get to choose 2 days and they have to give you one of em as long as it meets certain requirements (not in the middle of a block of reserve days is the most common one). Then you can designate a block of days off that are immovable meaning scheduling can not roll into those days and then restore it later. I guess it is kind of a moot point since reserve at EWR and IAH is only running about 3-4 months for most.
