Useful point
The right reading is not to look for a separate RTT calendar, but to identify the months where one RTT can replace a paid leave day on an already strong bridge setup.
Example
Example: start with the months where a public holiday lands next to a weekend, then compare the outcome with and without one RTT day available.
Avoid this trap
Avoid this trap: spreading RTT days randomly without checking the return in total days off.
Useful point
The goal is to leave with three concrete entry points to test quickly. Then the planner recalculates using your real leave budget, monthly RTT and family constraints.
