They might not be smart enough (or have the tech) to remove the rest to make the reserve available at a later time... but perhaps they are removing the rest. I haven't been on reserve in years but as a line holder this is starting to affect me (senior top 15% in my category). I couldn't drop a trip for March on the 20th even though it was like +25 when I input my PD on the 18th. Checked on the 19th late and it wasn't blue anymore.

I don't think the MEC or my LEC has even mentioned this. This is a huge deal as they could theoretically make every reserve unavailable for PCS drops for no reason to only un-do the rest for their benefit a few days prior.

Every other reserve assignment is done max of 2 days out. How is this allowable in our PWA? Is a grievance in the works?
They can and will absolutely remove the rest to give you an assignment and they will also pass you up for a GS because of it (paid later via crew
assist)
