But aren't there more opportunities to cherry pick open time via the view/add window in this TA? SMU being the most obvious new addition. That should create less available flying for secondary line holders driving their BLGs down. Maybe that's why the SIG suggested secondary lines being excluded from the SAM.

Can always be manipulated I guess. I just don't see how they could increase the trips available for secondary lines to reduce BLGs on published trips in the bidpack. Yes, SMU will initially increase trips in the bucket, but will then be picked clean before secondaries are built. Everything else that normally feeds it remains the same, right? Training, vacation, MED, pay only, etc. Does the change to VBB affect this?

What am I missing?
