I understand this will be a squeeze for a lot of guys, but with the staffing situation already near critical, I wouldn't expect it to be for long.
Also fellow reserves remember:
"If a pilot has credited at least 71 hours for flying assigned by the company in a month, any remaining reserve days can be dropped in order of seniority.The pilot will select this in his monthly bid. If the remaining reserve days are not dropped, the pilot will be placed on long-call reserve on any such remaining days" 3.K.2
And when the reserve grid is black and no one can drop days anymore, the guys on long call will just continue flying since long call reserves get used the most. Making this sections pretty much useless.
