QOL commuting on reserve can be hard. The reserve blocks are set up where it's almost impossible to commute day of for reserve. Can only do it if you live closer. In the slow months dropping reserve days can be easy, but in the busier months it can be quite hard. Reserve is generally 5 on 2 off with one 4 day off block for a total of 20 reserve days a month. Generally junior lines are on 18 days a month which doesn't leave much room for straight pickups. I've only been able to trip trade when I can hold a line. Depending on the month I'm working anywhere from 15-20 days.
