So, myself and 40 or so other (non new hire whiners who should just quit I suppose) guys. Its not that clear cut, despite what guys fulminate about here on APC. I have been bumped from solid line holder to reserve maggot at least 4 times during my time on the property. Amazingly, and much to the chagrin of some, I haven't quit yet!
Then you have two choices. Deal with it, or bid to something you can hold a line on.

Its a fact that things change, and just like we lost our 767-400s in EWR you lost some 777 flying. But I'll bet you didn't care one bit about reserve rules until it happened to you.
