I understand that, but what I meant is, even if you are not on reserve, as soon as you sign in for your trip at the airport, they can and will re-route you to fly something you didn't bid and didn't want, so you are effectively on short call, without being on "official" short call.

Nope. Vacation Slide is an option in PBS. As long as you don't try to slide outside of the bid period, and you can hold all the slide days off, it will process the slide and then the rest of your bid. I usually do a few else start nexts to make sure I have a contingency plan.

The first thing we need to do is, define Rest. What is Rest?
Is commuting into ATL rest?
Is sitting at home on the couch watching Auburn beat Alabama rest?
Is sleeping in a black chair in the crew lounge rest?
Is tossing and turning in bed, in a noisy hotel room with the maids vacuuming and knocking on the door all day, before you have to fly an all-nigher rest?
Is sitting in a business class seat for 3 hours during a noisy meal service, filled with PA's, rest?
I think Delta needs to buy out the top 5 floors at the Hilton on Virginia Ave. and put all the crews there for 10 hours prior to every sign in!

I usually put:
1. Start Reserve
2. Slide Vacation -6 days (or whatever you want to do), Else start next
3. Rest of bid
Then in the next bid group you can tweak the slide to something else that's acceptable, and so on...
