Scheduling usually assigns open time for the next day in the morning of the previous day (more than 12 hours from report). When a rotation is greater than 12 hours, Long Call Res are higher on the ladder than YS'ers. So the schedulers are only looking at the long call list and assign the first rot to the first Res person and so on until all the open time is assigned (No reason to look at YS'ers). If report is less than 12 hours, then YS'ers are higher on the list than long call res. So having a YS in for a trip that is more than 12 hours out does no good. This happened to a friend who was trying to get a commutable trip over Thanksgiving. She was lower on the list than me and was upset that she didn't get the rotation she YS'd for, which the schedulers gave to me. She called and asked if we could switch and they said No because they had to follow the more than 12 hour ladder.

So while on Reserve you never get what you want. I wanted a rot where I'd be in ORL tonight instead of MKE. No Dice
