Question on 1 day SCs (haven't been on reserve in a while). I've tried to pick up a couple SC this month on my last LC day. I see them advertised on the Reserve Open Time menu, usually 2 or 3 for early mornings (0530, 0630, 0830, 0900 etc) , but they never get assigned. Not just to me, I check the reserve list when I don't get them even though I YS for it and none of the folks in the 1 day bucket are getting those SCs that were in open time
Normal or weird? Do they auto populate in open time and then CS decides whether to assign/award them or not?

Note three: Crew Scheduling may at its discretion bypass a reserve pilot in the one day of availability grouping for conversion to short call under Section 23 S. 1. f. if such pilot is scheduled for a hard non-fly day immediately following the one day of availability.
And tennisguru, I believe it is 6am for the auto release now.

I've also had them bypass my YS for conversion to short call due to pre posted rest. It's happened when I have been in the 2 days of availability and 1 day of availability grouping. I can't find anything in the PWA that allows them to do that because rest is not defined as a hard non-fly day. It doesn't make much sense to me because even in the 1 day availability grouping if I'm legal to start the RAP I'm legal to finish a FDP and they could start the rest after. Oh well.
