I tried to trade 2 trips with open time last night for a couple of xtra added trips and of course, got the dreaded "insufficient reserves" tag.

I called the scheduler and he was very nice and cooperative and he told me that on my trip next week on one of my days they were already at -1 and my other trip later in the month was already at 0. I told him I thought we were over manned. He said that he had no more reserves left last night and has no more for today and had been calling (R1200RT obviously...) for draft.

After further review..... the guys that got the trips are flying them extra and at straight time and are banking 130 hrs for the month of Oct.

I don't think this group will ever learn. Some of us "just say no" but there's a guy w/i 20 numbers of you that can only say "YES! YES! YES!"
