Definitely not a false concern, very real. I don't think that there is any evil plot, or any vindictiveness in the possibility that senior VTO holders could get reserve days. It's just the computer program that makes the top priority a credit hour value. Remove the restriction that VTO's need to built trips first(which the TA does), and of course reserve days are now in play for everyone. It's just dumb computer logic, trying to get the optimum solution. And now there will be more reserve days, more VTO's.

However, I really hope that the company finds a way to leave that restriction in (unless reserve blocks are requested). They could relieve our concerns any time they wanted to, and put that in writing. I suppose we will know for certain when they issue new VTO request guidance. If they remove the instruction that you don't have to request "no reserve" because that's an automatic request, we'll see. And when the VTO's come out, we'll see, and hope the concern was unwarranted. If it does happen, we'll all be on this forum screaming.
