Because it is determined by distance to the abort point and will almost inevitably be later than is necessary. It needs another algorithm to position the final bracket at the earliest point such that a receiver that is full at the end of that bracket will reach destination with the appropriate reserves. Also am I not right in thinking that the crew cannot drop and drag (or move by any other method) the bracket.
