I guess so.
I think you have a bit of
selective amnesia. I commuted to deep six RSV as a Guppy Captain from '07 - '09. It is true that MOST SC's were assigned by 11:00, but not ALL. And SCs were ABSOLUTELY handed out like skittles. I wrote FSAPs and called supervisors...to no avail. "If I can protect the operation, I'm gonna do it" was a popular response from CS supervisors. "There is no limit on SC's" was another one from CS and ALPA. Ahhh....the good ol' days.
