I’ve never seen them post they want a SC pilot with 7(8) days of availability and even in the few times I do YS, I don’t get the SC and scheduling says it’s because I don’t meet their posted days of availability.
Yeah, but sometimes when I do that I get a crappy 5 day trip that just appeared in open time because, even though I'm more senior than the other eligible pilots, they were in a different short call period.

lol do you even understand how days of availability works? Of course we don't have 7 or 8 DOA buckets. On a NB any pilot with 4 or more falls into the 4 day bucket and is eligible for a 4 day SC period. In fact, the SC target DOA on the SC open time list is only a minimum. Scheduling could post 20 SC periods all targeting 2 days DOA and they can give those to 2, 3, or 4 DOA pilots. They will start with the pilots matching the required DOA but if there aren't enough they will move up the DOA list to fill every SC period possible, including pilots who have RES blocks of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, etc days of LC in a row.

yes I understand how it works…typing while walking…was trying to be concise…should have used voice text so I could be more wordy.

My point was for whatever reason, Scheds isn’t asking for 5+ day SC, but lots of 3 and 4 days and there are plenty of pilots in the 3 and 4 day buckets so they aren’t tagging me with 5+ with a 3 or 4 day SC on day 1

Watch your time cards, had a 23m7 payment for a skipped GS over XX days, showed pay and credit on the time card. Called and they basically said my bad and updated it to pay no credit

That is definitely unique towards WB pilots. Any NB pilot with 4 or more days available is getting SC since there is no 5 day bucket for NB.
