I wouldn't worry about it NHFox. The AK's almost always hit the high end of their commitment or go over it, so it'll still be pretty much balanced out.
Raub's correct. That's your pilot commitment that you put down when you registered your squad. We (the admin CM's) assign sides based on your requests and balancing the low end of the numbers. That's why we ask you to keep the commitments up to date; we can, however, check your attendance and guesstimate on that (such as I noticed for the AK's above, they could be an 11-15 squad easy.)
