Thanks fellas. Tough call....do I want the money and a bunch of plane swaps and long days, or the easy trip and less money....decisions.

The question is - what do the reserves look like? Even if the footprint is completely identical they won't make the trade if reserves are red (or even black I believe?). I'm just guessing here, but my bet is over Thanksgiving the reserves are "inadequate."

If they cover the same footprint, with the only difference being an extended layover on Turkey Day, the reserve grid becomes immaterial.

As a line holder, I've had multiple trip trades denied because of inadequate reserves. Same days. How identical does the footprint have to be?

Weird. The only deny I am familiar with (assuming same days) is if you try to change trips at the last minute. In which case it has to be an earlier report.

Also, sorry to beat a dead horse, but I just read the fan and it confused me more.
"A Pilot flying on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day will be compensated at the rate
of two (2) times their Regular Pay Rate (not Premium Pay) for the credit hours (scheduled or actual,
whichever is greater) between midnight to midnight Base Local Time, this includes any Deadhead time.
Pilots required to layover at a Blue City on a Special Pay Day, but do not fly, will receive four hours
(4:00) of Special Pay at their Regular Pay Rate."
The first part is crystal clear. Fly on thanksgiving; get double pay. So the 2nd part about the sit....does that mean if the trip credits 20 hours, I'll actually get paid 24????
