My layman brain interprets pretty clearly that if the SC open time is posted as available and a pilot Yellow Slips it, they are in the ladder of awards for that open time even if they are beyond the SC max. Ask the question, where did that un-awarded open time SC go if not to an above-max SC yellow slip? Apparently they can just go "poof" and aren't awarded at all.
I was more referring to just assigning SCs, not a bid for open time SC. And that the company can ignore a YS in the “first to be called” if already at the max. Not an OT SC. If I’m wrong I’m wrong, and I learn.
