I pick up from the TB and work anywhere from 3-6 of my days off just to get some flying and make a little money. Trust me, reserves aren’t dropping days like you think they are. They are just working on days off because we have to if we want to get “ahead” a little bit. And if you all think it is so easy to drop and then pick up whatever you want, I invite you to bid down to reserve and have at it yourselves. I’ll gladly take your line.
The point is, the reserve grid will never be green, because reserves will drop till it's red when the bid is out on the 18th. I don't know why people keep complaining about the reserve grid, it's a waste of time.

I've dropped at least 4-5 days every month on reserve in ATL.

I’ve tried every day since the bid came out to try dropping two different stretches this month. I know I’m wasting my time but I enjoy thinking I’m wasting someone else’s too.

Sorry to you guys trying to trade dtw 200ca Tripp’s....I’m trying

I think every base is a little different. One thing I do. I put in to drop the whole stretch (4 day etc) then submit it a second time but select that option that makes each day a separate request. So if they can't give you the whole thing then try it day by day with that option. It should process in that order too.

Trouble is I've convinced myself that open time is generated solely on the criteria that it overlap, in one end or the other, every single one of my reserve stints.
Yes I'm being facetious... I know how it actually is developed.... But a fella can strut around in his tin foil hat every once in a while can't he?

Haha you know what. You might be on to something. I'm usually picking up trade board when I drop.
