Some are over staffed.. some are under. That is no skin off skeds' nose because reserves are their biyotch, and go where/when they are told. Problem is that this affects lineholders, because in those categories that are understaffed, there is no drop/swap/etc... Needs to be fixed.. in some fashion.
+1

Compounding the issue is that ALV is done on a category basis, while reserves required is by base.

Either:
ALV and reserves required by base
ALV and reserves required by category
