That is a very foolish assertion. No one has a crystal ball regarding trip coverage. I have better things to do than track reserve coverage. If I need/want a WS I'm going to put in for it. If I see low coverage for my base and I withdraw my WS and someone junior or out of base then gets the WS I would have gotten then I just screwed myself over. As someone else mentioned, why GS if no coverage? You should GSWC only. By your greedy GS request you are costing someone a GSWC. How dare you? See how foolish your reasoning is?
