I've thought a good system would be 12/24/36 whatever pick one out, all listed by DOH. At some point it goes to check-in time vs that.

When I was commuting there was a flight attendant who lived in my neighbohood with a 1970s hire date, and would list for what was my "wide open" commuter flight (5-10 open on a CRJ200) with 3-5 grandkids after I was already at the airport. "Wanted to take the grandkids to see a show/go to macys/whatever nyc thing"

You knew more than 20 minutes ago you were rounding up the grandkids (who were all oddly S3s). I saw you picking Alex and Amy up because their mom lives across the street from me at lunchtime.

Just list so we can plan accordingly. You were hired before 50% of the seniority list (FA and Pilot) was born. You will get on.
