b. The maximum number of duty days on a flex instructor/
PCA’s flex bid period schedule shall not exceed the
maximum number of R-days in the bid period plus up to 5
days of carryover, if bid. Carryover days will be paid only if
work is available, as determined by the appropriate training
manager.

I'd rather have less work days every month if I was getting paid less. Vacation wouldn't have to "knock out" more days if there were only 10 in a 4-week month.

I think your post would sound even better if you just stopped after the 1st eight words.
