Are they assigning these things weeks in advance or something? Someone mentioned the ability to trace out of them. I'd think you'd need a long horizon to be able to do that. I'd be unhappy with that as a vto holder. On a personal level, as a line holder it impacts my ability to pick up open time.
I do like the improvements they said we recieved on return including the prohibition of being assigned a sim.
If they call you with a 5 day block, 16 to 24 hours before and give you a 3 day and a 2 day, doesn't seem like the end of the world unless I'm missing something else.
