That TYS CA who wants to bid LCR and be last out is right, it wont work. LCR is called first, before any SCR, as long as its outside of 12 hours to show.
They do honor last out requests. If you think they havent, question them. You had better be ready to do some research and find who is junior to you, legal, and didnt get called. Also remember in the contract, it says they will honor it if staffing, and efficiency of the operation aren't compromise. IF its a two day, and you are the most senior SCR with 2 days left, don't be surprised if you are called if you are the only SCR with 2 days or less on.
I did 3 years reserve between CA and FO, maybe they honor it now. My experience was completely different.
