The fleet is big enough that you should be able to swap at least some of your work, either with someone else or through uncovered work which is available as “Open Time” (rules apply). As with any other gig, expect to have to do some work that you didn’t bid for / were unable to swap.

Worth bearing in mind that as a new entrant you’ll be getting 6 days of reserve every month, non negotiable - perhaps a commuter can offer advice on how to manage that.
