They must have been trying for Xmas off because being the bottom on reserve is way worse than the worst line.
Line holders can trip trade, so if you get an uncommutable line, you can make it commutable. There's a really slim chance he can trade for Xmas off too. I pulled it off with Thanksgiving this month. Other line holder benefits: You'll get paid extra if you get flying added on to the end of your sequence. Reserves get turned back to eternity and nothing extra for it. I could go on and on.
This guy lucked out since guys senior to him are either inexperienced and don't know the benefits of holding a line, or they're locals who prefer reserve QOL.
