I had a similar thing happen to me, but it was really my own fault. I got an R24 line because I couldn't hold VTO and my default bid was any reserve line. Didn't occur to me that I wouldn't be able to hold VTO. I initially had the same reaction as you because there were other VTO lines awarded beneath me. The problem is (at least on the airbus) there were a lot more SIBA VTO lines than regular VTO lines for December, and I couldn't hold a regular one (missed it by one number). The VTOs awarded beneath me were all to SIBA folks, and I'm not SIBA qual'd. It's gonna be a fun Christmas.
