And how many were there. Douche. And most have a carry over that will take days away from the next month and since we don't really have any trips in the beginning of the month yes you do lose those days.

40 out of 119 CRJ lines had 15 days off or greater. 120 out of 189 ORD EMJ lines had 15 days off or greater. Far more lines had 15 off or greater than 11 or 12 but that doesn't really fit into your narrative.

16 days off = 7 Lines
15 days off = 37 Lines
14 days off = 18 Lines
13 days off = 11 Lines
12 days off = 15 Lines
11 days off = 24 Lines
Out of 114 Lines, i missed 2 in my count (not going to go thru the BID pack again)
Aspen ORD CRJ
13 days off - 2 Lines
14 days off - 1 Line
15 days off - 4 Lines
12 - 11 days off - 0 Lines
Clearly this person doesn't work here or doesn't know how to bid. Or is bidding weekends off only.

8 months it took me to hold 14/15 days off. I've been here 5.5 yrs...being a line holder since Oct 2011 in the EMJ. The guys on the CRJ held lines 3 months after done with IOE.
It's not impossible, you just know what to bid and what your seniority can hold. Once you can get partial weekends off, I strongly advise to work Friday-Monday or Sat-Tuesday or Thursday-Sunday.
You'll be able to get better trips due to everybody above you will try to get partial weekends or weekends off. There, one little trick if you don't mind working weekends.
I also bid for QOL, I can live with my min guarantee. If I want more money I get OT (rarely do, except on vacations).

You guys are just talking about re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Many people are now forced to commute due to all of the base closures and 15 days off suddenly becomes 11. Focus all this energy on getting out to better places instead of all this "mine is bigger than yours" days off spat.

One factor you guys might add to this is commutability of the trips as that can dramatically impact "days off".
