Like I said, I welcome the transparency to assignment of SC's. I just hope the language leaves some flexibility in there to allow schedulers to continue to use guys with multiple days of availability. I figure it will as I have a hard time believing that they would sign anything that did otherwise.

I think you are correct in your assertion that when things pick up the system will make more sense. As a junior guy I just hope that slow times are slow for everyone not just a few I think the use of YS'ing will be even more important now for the junior rsv pilots.
