Then if they open up some more right before flight time, they'll do it again and your EQD number and thus place in line might well be significantly different.

Somewhat related, but I'm assuming the rolling EQD is based on 12 full months (last approx. 365 days), as opposed to last 12 calendar months (such as November 2017-October 2018)?
