Exactly what he said, after final schedule and right before IOT times. So before IOT opens, it has to be 75% green. What happens from there is pilots now control the grid with drops and adds, the Nic award calls this "pilot behavior". If senior pilots drop to start IOT, its red by the time it gets to mid pack, if the mid pack picks up trips, its green again by the junior for guys on the list for drops. Its not a process where the grid is green by 75% and anyone can drop anything without respect to the action a senior pilot took prior to your request.
