i think most people complain about the ability to get days off rolled on the WB, the short call lottery-there are no real restrictions on how many short calls can be given. Personally, (live in domicile on a WB) it doesn’t bother me. After two unused short calls or FSB, you one hour of pay for every unused SC or FSB (somewhat of a simplification, but that’s the basic idea.)

my personal ideas on how to make it better: require short calls or FSB be built by 10am for the next day, so a commuter can see them and make plans. Have 1 or 2 more days off per month on the WB to account for the fact that you can days off rolled. Limit the amount of times per year or every 12 months.

commuting to reserve is always difficult, which is probably why you see unfilled CA vacancies.
