Reserve Aggressive Pickup
More than 3/4ths of the time, whether coming off a day off or on reserve, when trying to select a pairing off aggressive pickup at 1100L the reply is insufficient rest or illegal assignment. But some other pairings, generally not as desirable, can be selected and are awarded. If you can get through to a scheduler in time they will give the denied assignment to you and can't explain why the software rejected your original request.
Have searched the contract for some time cutoff or guidance on this subject. May have missed it, but can't find anything. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

They know about it and can't/won't fix it. Bigger fish to fry is what I was told. It does work somehow for some people. I have not once had it work using any variation since January this year. FWIW I call crew scheduling on the phone to pick up. Most of the time by the time I get through the trip is gone. Thanks for playing

Reserve question: is 5 days of reserve availability different for trip assignments than 4 days?
Example: a 4-day trip appears on reserve open time,
1 person with 4 days available
4 people with 5 days available
The 1 person with 4 days has flown most recently
Who is the next called?
Thanks

At least that's how I understand it

Since there are no 5 day trips on the 73 for example, I would think the 4 day guy gets used first, even if he was used more recently. That way scheduling will have the 5 day guy available the next day for any 4 say trips.

It makes sense to use the 4 day for a 4 day trip, however I thought I recall something about there being a category (silo) of 4+ days, lumped together.
It possibly changed when they implemented the FIFO system
