I’ve never been able to break the code on the coverage awards. I get the concept but have no idea how they implement it. In my category the junior line holder could get the holiday off but 15 guys on reserve got coverage awards for the 4th of July week. Why didn’t line holders go into coverage awards? There are at least a dozen trips in open time for that weekend. It’s even worse the last weekend of the month, 26 of 32 reserve lines got hit with coverage on that weekend. I’m uber junior but always try and get a line because i find I have much more control over the schedule even though I’m deep into the garbage trips.
