Both are similar in that there is a penalty to the company for their not having enough pilots: one pays 1.5 and the other pays 1.5 or restore the day off.
I agree they are different in that junior man can be refused due to not available while, according to the company, a reassignment cannot be refused. More holes in the contract that have to be filled.
