20-K-6-c Short Call assignments shall be built for a designated silo.

Note the implication—assignments are built for silos, but not for a reserve pilot. Instead, silos are built for reserves by swing shift schedulers.

I think it would benefit us greatly to change this language. Others may agree, others may not. The leverage might be that they also might like to simplify the whole process. Build no-silo assignments, anyone can pick them up, anyone can be assigned them in FIFO order. Otherwise, add language that SC/FS "shall be built before 1100".
the idea of silos is to cover specific time windows or trips, I.e. a 3 day trip.

reality seems to be that they chop them up as they see fit anyway. No real need for silos then. It is usually about saving the operations the day off and kick the can down the road.
