Then you can give it away, trade down, break it up into smaller trips and give away, ELITT down, etc. It's a bit of work, but you can make those remaining four days go away and then you have the entire month off.
Your pay will be the 26.25 for the vacation plus part of but not all of the dropped trips. So you are basically going for maximum days off and willing to drop pay below min to get it.

Anyone else having the issue of you can't see the last page unless you respond?
Have tried mobile and desktop on phone, and desktop on desktop. Same in all 3.
Shows 3 pages, click on page 3, brings you to page 2. respond, then you can see last page.
Mods, I think this comes up when threads get pruned or people hard delete posts, but it's been a long time and many vbb versions since I was a forum mod.

Skywest 5/6 yr captain
bid reserve all year
ytd block: 605
total gross ytd (one check remaining): 297k
money off 300% trips: 131k
average monthly nights at home: 24
Been a solid year with open time pickups but hoping to hideout on reserve on a wide body somewhere next year. Goal will always be the same though. fly as little as possible for the most money.

Whatever you currently have selected, change to something else. That usually works.

Yep. 125 average credit, 52 average block. Low month: 95, High Month: 161. A lot of premo and double dipping (bought off sweet trips by management/ Captain TI's).
I combine 6 weeks vaca with strategic use of my big_O sick leave balance to boost my time off...
