Thanks in advance!

With min base rest time, pbs may come up with some creative solutions that may have you going to work at strange times.

From: It's still a Guppy, just a bit longer.
That can give you back to back trips as one work block if you don't restrict the length of work blocks with an "avoid" length of trips to the appropriate length.

Change length of work blocks. Can go as high as 19 days AND waive the FAR rest in base requirement. This once gave me 8 days straight block on the 737, with the required 30 hour break in 168 at a layover. Ugly, but as a last ditch BG to get Thanksgiving off...

Unfortunately MIN DAYS BETWEEN WORK BLOCKS doesn't work. Two back to back 3 days is considered 1 work block. Trying to avoid that...
Got a hold of the PBS guys, got it worked out. Thanks for jumping in on this thread fellas.

I think L++ might work better. I'm pretty sure PBS reads L++ as I want lots of trips, and L-- that I want fewer.
