I think it will be a win for lineholders as it will allow more flexibility in building one’s schedule but it will be a pain while on reserve.
The system does not even look at your RAP preferences until it awards your working and off days. If just a single one of your working days has enough coverage for a certain rap it will not award that rap. Period.
So if you wanted have a certain rap over maybe a certain day off there is no way to build your schedule in that way. The system says congratulations I got you the days off you wanted now let’s see what rap you want. Oops sorry I can’t give it to you on the working days I already awarded you so I’m going to give you this garbage rap you want no part of.
