Looks like they gave me the standups but then the credit was not up to 88 hours so they took them away and put the 4 day trips in there.

Any reserve people want to trade next month?
You are at 84% and bidding like someone in the top 20%. You have to open up your bid to include almost everything by layer 7 at 84%. I usually make sure layer 7 includes my percentage (84 in your case), plus the percent reserve coverage in your base, plus a 10 to 15 percent buffer (as you can see were already beyond 100% of the pairings at this point). You're not bidding realistically for your seniority.
