Some guys who don’t have kids or whose kids are out of the house will not list at all until summer time comes along and accept everything that comes their way because a lot will since they are starting at 0 in June. The system makes it so you can work it in the way that fits your lifestyle. For each “bucket” of hours, the calls go in seniority order.
