Simple Jack, That all makes sense. I was watching ANC Capt open time a few weeks before Christmas hoping to get some of Christmas week off by trading. An x-pairing drops in with a nice DH in it getting me home earlier. It was frozen so I called the scheduler and he said it would be released soon. I was using FX cal and refreshing like no ones business. It became unfrozen and I submitted for it, had it all cued up on the screen.I also called scheduler and he was on the phone giving it to an earlier time stamp. It was a 93 hr trip so I figured something would be dropped since it was such a big trip but nothing showed up. So who ever picked up the trip either had a huge month or had dropped stuff waiting to use their OTP makeup by putting in for it each day.
