The fact is in the busy summer months SOME reserves will be abused, some of the time. Other than that reserve is a pretty good gig these days, and reserves got a higher guarantee 12 months a year.

If in fact you can't white slip anything "no matter how crappy the trip" (your words, not mine) then would it not make more sense to just bid reserve and stay home, since white slips always come before any reserve call out?

For all I know that may be your plan anyway.
