I haven't checked other seats/airplanes, and I could certainly be out to lunch, but methinks this is what happens at the intersection of peak/increased volume and 4a2b. Lots fewer reserve lines and lots more regular lines at reduced CH equals tons more XTRA flights--far above and beyond the "last minute notice" demands of our chosen profession. Me, I'll fly what I'm awarded, and enjoy the time at home--just not in the mood for extra flying till 4a2b terminated. If the company needs this trunk monkey that badly to fly the "extra" flying of peak/holidays, it'll cost 'em (draft). Turned down three draft calls last month; we'll see what the Grinch(es) bring this December.

Most of those 197 xtra pairings were actual trips and not standbys.
I've even been called twice in the last 2 months for a draft and know several others in my class that have been called 3-4 times recently.

So I have been put into sub for part of next month (17 hour trip canceled). If I decline sub now and take the OTP option can I cherry pick some good December trips during the current view/add window?

Same as the original thread question. You can pick trips during open time release on Thursday.
