Exactly this. When I talked to scheduling, they explained that a YS only puts you at the top of the list for that trip or days you want to fly in the silo for days of availability you have. So, you can only YS a 4 day with 4 days availability, a 3 day with 3 days availability, etc etc. It sucks if you are trying to grab a 1 or 2 day with multiple days availability left ahead of you. You won't get it. They make it difficult to keep your currency even if you are actively trying.
