I'd say you're better than this, but you're a known entity of poor information around here.

So basically a WS with lower priority. A WS is priority #2 while a YS is #5 in the trip assignment ladder.
The poster asked about a WS by a reserve pilot, but there's no such thing. WS is a trip request by a regular line holder.

Just ordered mine. May 2nd.
Two more reserve blocks before I rid myself of this POS.
Debating if I should do the buyback. They are allegedly decent tablets with the Corporate Bloatware removed.
