One thing to keep in mind about SC is how it plays out with LC.

Say the first 10 pilots are given SC for tomorrow and say around 8pm someone calls in sick for the next day. Say Pineapple Guy, he's not really sick he's just got better things to do. Just kidding!

But seriously someone calls in sick say around 8pm and drops a 4 day into the system. The computer goes banging around looking for the first pilot on LC to assign that trip. Let's say it's a 1400 show. The computer goes looking and the first person on LC at 1400 is actually the guy with the 1800 SC, so their SC is pulled and they're given a trip. The guy on SC at 1200 is on SC at 1400 so the computer skips that guy. So my least favorite SC is 1930, it kept getting pulled and I kept getting a trip. I'd rather had a morning SC nowadays.

It could also be the first guy it finds on LC is the first guy on LC with no SC assigned to them. So yeah you could be #11 sitting pretty thinking you're not going anywhere but in reality you were #1 on LC.

Or so says the scheduler. Someone else might have a different explanation.
