I added in the unique situation "Holiday weekend....reserve coverage way down". A few extra clicks to see that the history for weeks has been gs's going to Out of Base with 10-12 hours for report. This on normal weekends. Then add in Holiday and open trips.....That was my point. I have absolutely nothing against ws's or commuters wanting more stability or quality in their schedule, or as buzz said actually adding to the pot. That was not the case here and I hoped that I portrayed that but I guess I was short. If they had hit GS instead of WS that's how it would have went. My frustration is in the time difference between opening ICrew and putting in the WS vs GS with doing a little checking is about 3-4 minutes. That's all I'm saying.

Check - res availability list, daily trip coverage history, sc assignments, open time list and you can create a very good guess at the possibilities. It sounds like a lot but after only a few minutes you get the hang of it. Actually if you get good at it you can narrow it down to the actual trip you get as an green and no you don't have to be super senior to do it. Not that everyone wants or cares to go to that length but just a couple of minutes of checking can go a long way.
