This results in the one base (NYC) guys getting bent over twice: once not being able to move days around because of the poor manning and then again when not even getting a chance to get the GS.

In this example, if the rotation gets assigned to base X in the monthly bid package then they should own it and I feel like the in base guys should have first dibs at the GS before they call in the OOB reserve guy.

I would like to see the assignment ladder modified slighly becuase of this.

And yes it was in my survey answers.
