From what I'm seeing, my best guess is that they are figuring that for now, until they figure out how 117 is really going to play out, on good weather days, it's best to sparingly assign and use SC pilots and just give out greens slips -- at least more than they used to.

Who is going to turn down a GS on a great sunny day, as opposed to having to fight to get to it through the snow and cold and overbooked flight?

That way they can save more SC's for bad weather days.

Just a guess. But, I think it means they are short and really worried about 117 and the summer.
Maybe the guys being assigned SC are doing what dash8widget said a few days ago and acknowledging the SC late. Then they are unusable for SC? Leverage generator.
