Then, like in the past, the Daily Open Time opens later in the month after people are awarded relief lines.
At least this is how I'm understanding it to be.

If we can just get to 10 domiciles of 100 crews or less then we can finally surpass the illusive barrier of having more people on reserve than we do lineholders.
