I have personally noticed this also - in 18 years I never maxed out on SC ever until this May. Now every single day on reserve that I am not assigned a trip the day prior it is automatic SC.
It would seem that scheduling has changed their SC assignment philosophy since some of our guys were (pick one) accused/caught of not being in position for SC. So a few guys go rouge and 13K + Pilots pay the price.
