No, the discrepancy is between the count of "how many guys are actually on reserve" in the Reserve Availability Screen in iCrew and the count of "how many guys are actually on reserve" on the Reserves Required Screen.

For example the Reserves Required Screen shows 5 reserves required and 2 available, yet for the same day 6 pilots are on short call.

The difference is that line holders can't PD or swap and reserves can't move x-days because the Reserves Required screen consistently undercounts actual reserves available...
This is all happening in same base on same equipment. This has nothing to do with category level staffing...
