Just thought if I made a lateral move (furlough pending here) I'd still be able to do the same. Mind boggling!
The problem with that at L-ASA is that scheduling wants to control each reserve pilot. In other words, when you're off and picking up trips, you may hit a 30 in 7 problem when they go to schedule you. Another example is contractually pilots can only work 6 days straight. There are more problems that exist when this happens.
On a side note, I believe there was a memo about reserve picking up trips but I'm not sure what it said as it did not apply to me. It could have a been a one month deal.
