>>Maybe NYCT needs to negotiate with the union to put in place a rule that only aggressive, particularly skillful T/Os are allowed to pick the southbound Lex in the most critical 90 minutes of the day.<<

Wouldn't that rule go out the window if one or more of those "skillful" T/Os called in sick or took some kind of day off? I don't know how it is at NYCT, but at NJT, the crew dispatchers are desperate for "any qualified bodies" from the extra list to fill vacated jobs. Unless NYCT institutes a separate "skillful" extra list along with a "regular" extra list, I don't know how that above idea could be implemented.
