Two ships were slotted 0030Z and 0045Z for the same rooftop when EMS upgraded a lift at 0038Z; I slid the non-EMS to 0100Z and moved the priority to the pad with one ops-text and one radio call. How are you sequencing in that crunch — hold, alternate pad, or adjust ETD buffers to keep duty times clean?
But > one ops-text and one radio call. How are you sequencing in that crunch — Agree on the timing — , EMS at 0038Z nukes neat stacks; we keep a standing 8‑min preempt window and auto-bump the non‑EMS to an alternate pad if it’s hot within 5, otherwise slip ETD 5–10 to protect duty. Your 0100Z slide makes sense; I’d tag a soft 0105Z for turn buffer.
I run a 9‑min hot‑pad lockout when EMS pops late, slide the non‑EMS by +12 with a canned ‘P1 preempt’ text and one radio confirm, and tag them first‑out on the next pad to keep duty clean; if fuel’s tight, I’ll go alt pad. @tina_kline95 do you flex that when WX squeezes ETD?
