Yeah, but first come first served via "on line booking"? Hopefully the system is designed so that it's like VRU in that it won't accept a request before the 5.5 days prior period strikes. Otherwise, how would such a system determine who was there first if you can submit the request and it sits there in a que waiting for the 5.5 day point to announce the lucky recipient--the one who first put it in (e.g. many days before the 5.5 day point, or by seniority?). I doubt it will be like VRU in this way, and thus I suspect other factors rather than first come first serve will come into play.
