This doesn't just affect reserves.

We have a lot of senior lineholders who love green slips. They are not going to like it one bit when they figure out they can never get another same day greenie.
Same deal for white slips. Its going to be a lot harder for a lineholder who is short just to fill up.
Being "senior" just lost a lot of it's power.

I'm not sure management has thought that one through either. They better have a plan for putting a lot more guys on short call. Or watch out for reroutes.
