Right off the bat you will not be able to. In almost every category a certain number of junior reserves have forced coverage awards that your schedule will be built around. Generally this will be every or almost every Sat/Sun, and every major holiday, so you’ll have lots of 3-4 day RES stretches each weekend. Once you can get enough seniority to get above the coverage award cut line you can pretty much stack all your days anywhere you want them. Just note that coverage awards on major holidays can jump and bite even the most senior reserve bidder.

Last word was that ~200 new hires per month was going to continue until next summer, and then wind back down to ~100/month after that. The August seniority list should be around 14300, so assuming a net gain of ~150/month that puts us right around 16000 by next July.

it happened to me, as well. I got all of my R days in a row for my first month and no coverage assignments for month 2. Month 3 had me covered to high heaven. Point is, you can’t plan on it as whats available at the bottom is very inconsistent.
