Ok so you’re DFW based. DFW has a lot better staffing because it has 3x the lines of the next closest base. It’s a different experience at the other 3 bases. Calling the next day desk the night before usually is your best bet for dropping but if you try to do it during the 48hr window or via RF form it’s pretty useless. So yeah, unless you’re vacation sliding or DTSing like a pro then you’re not dropping things. And it’s gonna be worse when PBS comes out.
