Let's say it's a 2 day trip that starts on a Tuesday. You've got a 4 day block of reserve that ends on Monday, so day 2 would be the money day. They'd need NO 2 day guys starting on Monday when they assign the stuff starting at 7 am in order for you to get it. If you're off both days, it's even slimmer as they'd probably break up the trip over two reserves before assigning it to someone going into a day off. If you've managed to get one into your day off like that, awesome. You're the first guy I've heard of to use aggressive reserve pick up to pull it off. Most of us just count on RSAs for that.



My whole transition class was in the Staybridge except for one guy that got lost in the shuffle. They were able to move him over there after the first week. The class behind us got screwed and were put in the La Quinta.
