Something that shows our buckets or where we are in relation to other folks? Also, is long call 14 hours outside of DOTC now?
Short answer, yes. The RAS app will sort pilots by bucket and show where you are in the bucket’s batting order for assignments. It will show you for inside and outside DOTC (the batting order can change due to reserve days worked, which only affects assignments outside of DOTC). There are some caveats though. For example it may show another reserve pilot ahead of you in the batting order even though that person isn’t legal for a trip in open time. This is supposedly on the list of things that will be fixed according to the APA RAS video. I recommend watching it. It’s on the APA website.
