When awarding RAPs, N-PBS sees what Days you are working, looks at your RAP requested in your bid group, and then looks to the Company’s requirements on those days. You are awarded your requested RAP only if that RAP is still needed on those days.”
yeah must just be a coincidence that once I was not a junior reverse guy anymore I magically starting getting the reserve I had on the top of my bid (eye roll)
Pro tip: if you are on the bottom of the seniority list you are probably going to get all the crappy reserve periods no matter what you have on your bid sheet. Funny how that works.
