Valid thread/post--- but let's not cast the net too widely.

Last month, I was trying to trade a trip for an airport standby in order to (hopefully) commute home a day earlier.

The computer wouldn't accept the trade and I realized the only way to make it happen would be to drop the trip and then pickup the airport stby.

Of course, that's a gamble if you don't know what's in the que and don't know when the requests will be processed.

I called the scheduler and explained it.

He first confirmed nothing was in the que and then offered to stay on the line with me while I inputed the drop and pickup, and then he "processed" those requests immediately.

I watched all the little electrons flow within seconds before my very eyes.

In the end a very, very positive experience with scheduling.

(....yes, I actually just typed that without any sarcasm intended!)
