Had to oddest thing happen this week on RSV...
I was on my last day, day 5, haven't been used all week. 11 am RSV and the grid was red.
I went on at 11, my phone rings at 11:15 and I'm thinking crap, there are people ahead of me so I'm going to have to argue my way out of this assignment (by no means the first time I've been assigned something out of order and have had to have it fixed). The message states that they are going to Release me at 12 and please self notify....
WHAT??? So confused. So I went on crewtrac and there it was, released at noon. Not complaining, but very odd, and have never had that happen in all my years of RSV...

Seems like ALPA is riding them hard whenever someone files a PDR about assignments being screwed up. Maybe the schedulers are finally getting "calibrated."

A little off topic, but does the Reserve grid being red have anything to do with allowing trip swaps/drops?
For example, Xmas eve was +1 in the green before 0900 today, tried to drop a RES day within 5 seconds of the 0900 FCFS start time, no dice, I guess too slow as it denied due to coverage at or below mins. After that, I couldn't drop a RES day for that day since it was no longer green, but watched it drop all the way to -4 in the red with more open time being added on that day. Couldn't find anything in the FSM that gave specific guidance. I assume if you're a line holder you can drop trips with the Grid in the red? Thanks.

What days do you usually start? Try to bid 6day blocks starting mid-week for a better chance at LCR on day 1.
