Without vacation you don't normally pull Mon-Thu reserve only. You're going to do a 5 day stint to get the 17-18 or so days of reserve in. Unless you do a day on an odd ball week.
From what I see they're assigning about 14-15 SCs per weekday in my category. Heck, 17 of the first 18 guys tomorrow are on SC and the one that isn't has 6 SCs. But, for those who have 0 SCs, they still have 0 SCs tomorrow.
Anyways, we had about 8 Mondays and Tuesdays, that's about 100-110 SCs assigned to about the same 20-40 guys.
I don't see how someone ends up with 0.
I get what you're saying as far as it depends on when you put your days but looking at today's list, I just think the system is flawed. Not saying the guys with 0 SCs are buying pizza for the schedulers, not at all, I'm just saying it's a flawed system.
