Ditto this. I won't embellish the story, but I watched a trip sit in open time for nearly 2 hours, just waiting for it to be assigned to me on SC reserve. The call finally came 30 minutes before report. Flight went out late as a result. There were no WS/autoaccept shenanigans. It just sat there as I refreshed trip coverage expecting to get the call. (Yes I know this is neurotic of me, but I like to hawk iCrew during SC sessions from home once my chores are done.)

My category is not short staffed at all fwiw.
