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.
thanks for the insight. I knew the WB days off issue, but just did know why NB reserve rules would be considered unusually bad.
no limit to SC would suck for a commuter, but an hour above guarantee for all but the first two would make it slightly better.
