I was told it does matter if the schedulers run an option for IA#2,3,4 etc. If you have received #1 already, then you won’t get a call for #2 until the schedulers push that button.

If you are a reserve guy, the posted rest apparently matters, and seems to be weaponized against the reserves. Pre posted rest locks you out for the whole duration, not just the first 10 hours like on a GS. I am told you can ask for that to be removed if you are not due a 30 hour rest on reserve to open your possibility back up.

I am also told IAs treat conflict differently for a reserve person than a GS. In the past I could be preassigned a trip two days out, but a GS the next day could knock that out. A scheduler has told me with an IA, that is not the case-that would be considered IA with conflict and they don’t do that at the moment. Also, the preassigned rest for your next trip takes you off the board as mentioned earlier.

Lots of new rules to understand if you want to win the game. I am trying to learn them as I go, but I tend to get lucky if I can snag one a month.-usually at 3am for a 6am report.

My best chances are in the middle of the night, when people are less likely to call back for a super early report.

as others have said, the game favors the super senior for 23m7, the super local for middle of the night IAs, and unfortunately the dishonest.
