Designing a computer program to dump all SC's into a spread sheet which would compare SC to actual use. My suggestions is to separate those SC that were used within the 2.5 hour call-out vs those that were released and assigned a trip between 10 or more hours after release. The whole purpose of which, is to "lift up the stone and shine a light on SC assignment building". This might help the negotiating team put pay provisions on those SC's that were released and assigned trips 10-12 hours after being released. In other words, building SC's by the crew desk would moved from an exercise of convenience to that of a cost to be tracked by the company bean counters who would be inclined to stop the practice because many SC's are UNNECESSARY.
