What are my options!?!? Should I call the open time desk, or should I just wait until the reserves are assigned. (At which point all the good trips will be gone!) Please help!!!
To answer your question in a little more detail, the reserve schedules have not been posted so there is no reserve for next month. Because of this, each day is understaffed according to SkedPlus. You can only trade your days for the same days, i.e. 4 day for the same 4 days, etc. Reserve schedules are posted on the 26th I believe. Once that is done, you're free to trade as you please. HOWEVER, if you select the reserve tab on SkedPlus and move your mouse over the day of the month, it'll let you know how many reserves are needed and how many they have. If the reserves is under the minimums you wont be able to trade out of your trip that touches the under minimum day.
Hope that helps.
