Does eschedule require the schedule writers to accept or decline availability requests, or can they just overlook them and you get scheduled for hours you can't do?
No, it doesn't prompt in any way for availability requests during the process. Time off requests show up in the schedule writer as question marks on the relevant days, though, so there is no real reason to miss those. The # of pending requests of both types show up on a dashboard on the home page in eschedule, but it doesn't really make a difference because nobody looks at it.

Well, I must have a good manager then. I've never had an availability request declined. So, apparantly he always looks at them. Although, this time my availability request didn't get approved until 2 hours before the schedule was posted lol. Had me a bit nervous but it all worked out.

Yeah, you probably have a good non-FE mgr or work FE. Non-FE depts are used to having much easier times seeing their mgr to make those requests in person, but FE mgrs are used to having too many employees spread over the entire day to expect to see them in person, and thus are (or should be) more used to having to check those requests.
