Next few days hopefully. With this bid and where everyone is moving both up and down. It is quite complicated and needs to be done correctly or there will be major issues with staffing.

Yes, it is New.
It is just base on past bids not possible future ones. It makes guessing where you will be for the conversion period very difficult.
I have gone from a line holder to 70th on reserve from one month to the next.

It seems that if you want to make sure you never sit reserve you have to forgo bidding what you might hold to stay on something you can certainly hold, giving up the extra pay in the mean time.
The bottom line seems to be that if you are near the bottom of any list, don't make any plans, next month or even next year.

That's exactly how it works. Some guys don't mind the reserve and bid the equipment they want. Others, like me, bid what I know I can hold and still get a line, for less pay. Its a QOL tradeoff.
