Default Post training question

Looking for pros and cons.

Training for a different seat. I am getting done with training on May 15. Then, I will have OE and shadow days. I will be on reserve. Not a line holder.

Trying to figure out which gives me the best bang for the buck.
Or maybe if one option gives me more days off vs the opportunity to make more $$$

Should I bid all my days off in a row immediately after training and get PB days for every day I am scheduled OE or is it better to bid my reserves days immediately after training?

Thanks for the perspectives.

If you want days off, put all of your working days in the shadow period. Then no matter what they schedule you for, you will use up your working days. The only way you will be able to pick up extra time will be GS or YS on days off at the end of the month.

If you want to work more, do the opposite. You will get payback days that roll forward, but you will be stuck on call after you finish OE.

I prefer option 1, but YMMV.
