Still not senior enough to hold anything but SCR, but I'm wondering... I see whole trips in the open time pot. Of course, I can't pick anything up because it conflicts with my SCR. Can somebody explain the open time pot to me? As in, I would rather volunteer for a trip, be it 1, 2, or 4 days, than stand by waiting to be called (or not.) How do people pick up the open time? Any other FLICA tips would be appreciated, too, since it's not exactly intuitive, nor have good help/tutorials.
