Reserve sucks now for sure. Agreed no flexibility. Until pbs you are allowed to drop days from one block outside in. Which when DOT opens is like playing Russian roulette with a slow moving target. DOT is so slow and takes hours to process so it gets really hard to guess which reserve block you have the best chance of dropping days. Once pbs starts and you are on reserve you are screwed basically no dropping at all. If I still have the great misfortune to be on reserve when pbs starts I will commute to a base where I can hold a line.
