I think we’ll have to wait and see... at my regional, (fu&k, I hate even saying that) the LC were used more than the SC. LC sounded great, but you basically worked every RSV day...

I live in base, and bid RSV. I’ve done about 160 hours a year for 5 years. I’m anticipating bidding SC, but like I said, I’ll see how it works out.

Not sure that was helpful,
