Fwiw as you guys snip around categories, ATL717B is running about 2 to 3 times available over reserve. Getting a same day ws is like getting a gswc in other categories.

The system is automated, and I do not believe the scheduler has the ability to change the numbers manually. Were he to do so, it would be a violation of the PWA.

You might call the ALPA office and speak to one of the scheduling gurus about your concerns.

Hey, with all this contract business and new hiring going on, it might be almost time to dust off Guard dude again.

I've never researched it much, well, at all, so I find the Req/Avail ratio to change in mysterious ways. What makes it so mysterious is that it always seems designed to work against me.

Not sure about the Avail side, but it sure feels like the Req side is being heavily manipulated.

Hobbies are things you do for free.

So no she probably doesn't.
