I think almost every reserve trip I've flown in the last couple of months went through open time and had a whole bunch of people bidding on them. Which brings me back to my point, even when reserve levels are low if you're bidding POT it's essentially the same as telling the company to go ahead and send it to reserves.

I'm not saying *should*, I'm describing what I'm seeing over my last several months on reserve. And the day before thanksgiving, PHX PM FO reserve availability went to zero sometime before noon.
Capt “You get this trip on a POT bid to”?
Me “Nope, reserve”.

Pretty much sums up the above.
