Be careful with A1/A3. They audit them periodically and they'll give you a step letter for travel abuse if you use them when you're not supposed to.

OR, just don't bid Home Based TDY. It's not worth it to hold a line because A12 travel sucks.

Thanks for the responses guys! Also, to clarify, what does Home Based TDY mean? (airline newbie)

Sometimes they have a temporary need for pilots from one base to work another base for a month. TDY is an expression of filling that need. At Envoy you have involuntary TDY, voluntary TDA, and Home Based (usually called Home Based TDY). Different rules apply to each version. None of this is really relevant to your original question though, except that Home Based TDY also uses A12 passes as though they're positive space travel.

They
are
not.

Sorry for the derail.
