How it was explained to me at interview was it's a quasi line of open time left overs, reserve days, and other flying all depending on coverage. A friend told me there similar to super junior lines at traditional airlines.
Myself, I'd take that over reserve. At least you know what your doing for the next month. Unless your at CLT or TYS, it's only a month or two on built ups.
Someone who's flow the line should be around to give you more info.
