I feel your pain. I was good for 3 days yesterday and got assigned a 4 day trip. This after sitting 2 days of SC. I too hold a line next month.
That's such BS. They should have to offer a GS before involuntarily taking ANY pilot's off day away when assigning open time. Reserve v line holder shouldn't matter.
