Default Insufficient reserves fdXA

Anybody tried to move an r day and get denied for insufficient reserves and then been allowed to drop it.? Just happened to me for two days. I think it seems like maybe they had too many reserves on the day I was trying to move it to and didn't want to pay me..any other explanation?

Sorry for typos new iPad user

Nothing scheduling can do about that one. The system can't be overridden.

You ran up against the "We've got too many people on reserve and want to force you to drop" algorithm. It's proprietary so if you want to know more you have to sign a confidentiality agreement and not be a line pilot.

And no, it's not allowed by the CBA. hence the secrecy.

Hey--don't know all the details, but just be grateful you CAN drop a reserve day--guess utilization is down for your seat. The hours go straight into makeup bank--enjoy Open Time.
