I think I see the problem, you're looking for logic in SS's decisions. Stop doing that, because there is none.
It always seemed to be feast or famine for me, 10 hours one month...100 the next. I would say it comes down to the bucket, but CS just ignores that anyway.

I sat reserve just under a month and flew 60 hrs, now holding a commutable line. It all depends on the base..... MSP has so much movement right now and only suppose to grow. In my opinion stay in a junior base if you are commuting, hold a line, keep your bid in for the base you really want. Just my two cents.
