I haven't checked in the last few days, but usually there are stacks of open time each day - and scheduling assignes it to reserves 72 hours out. There is so much open time every day, I really don't understand why they haven't built more lines to take it away, or break up the 4 day trips in open time so that line-holders with time off can max out their monthly credits by picking up day lines, 2-days, and short over-nights such as one leg out and one leg back. When I see 7 or 8 or more open 3 and 4 day trips every day - then scheduling is doing something wrong. They are using reserves to operate regular trips rather than pick up slack for sick calls and irops.

There's some truth to this. I've felt like a lineholder on reserve for the past several months. Nice to get a 4 day assigned 2 days out. I still have a roundtrip assigned 2 hrs out here and there, but for the most part its been multiple day trips and crediting 80+hrs
