glad to hear everything worked out!! there's no way i'd do trip trade for my hubby.. he has way too many requirements for me to ever get it right! much less get it right without a sweat!!

So we've gotten it down to where i email him the days i'd like for him to try and get off (knowing there are never any guarantees) and go from there....he always works his bids this way:

1) commutable trip (little to no commuting nights/need for hotel)
2) days off
3) good, longer layovers
4) location of trips/layovers
5) duration of flights
6) anything else...
