They're all going 5,000- 6,000 numbers senior to me and a 2 digit seniority dude just snagged IA#2. Do with that information what you will.

You have to listen to the entire message before you can hit star or it won’t work. Even then isn’t it our efforts to try to make more money that just encourages them to schedule this way?

A data point;
i got 2 back to back IAs. I called sched immediately after i got the vru call and was connected to a scheduler within 5 minutes for both. They were also after 9pm pst. My category is very very small 🤷♂️. Maybe its size of category and/or time of day

I've also seen multiple IAs go out to those in the 3xxx, 2xxx, etc. range and get covered before I even got the IA call. So apparently some senior pilots know how to actually get an IA.
