I think to satisfy the premise of the question of a potential new joiner all of them was accurate enough
The question the response generated in my mind was what trips are fewer than 3 days, so thanks for answering that question!

Is there a separate function for opting out of union protections on days off to generate back to back trips (0LN variety) that would keep your 3 days off protection for the rest of the roster?

Two crew low credit trips don’t seem so bad with a guaranteed three days off afterwards, especially those with minimal time difference and a day flight home (Middle East etc). I assume JED/RUH/DOH are currently fairly low seniority destinations?
