Can someone explain to me why when there are 0 open pairings and 18 reserves, why is the min reserves 23+ and the day red? Also there is very little open time in my very junior base on a NB. Over the next 4 days, there are 3 pairings, 2 of them having 5 AM shows at a satellite base. Maybe if you set up notifications and watch open time like a hawk you can see immediately when someone calls in sick and the trip is dropped into OT and can swap, if the days match up. It seems to me you might need to lay off the koolaid a bit.

EDIT: Want to add that I bid low 40% in my base as well and still can't do much in terms of drops or swaps.
