All I hear is the schedule never remains the same!
Actually, on the 767, except for AMC, the routes never change and the lines tend to stay the same. It's Scheduling that screws it up. Not unheard of to raid a reserve from TPE to cover AMC in Europe, but a lot more rare than the 747. My 747 schedule changed almost every time I landed.
TPE reserve is what you'd want. But I would hope you would wait till you could bid it instead of calling the company to make a deal that only benefits you.
