And others have said, you can’t drop reserve on relief lines. You’ll have to swap into a trip and drop the trip if it’s green.
Where did you even get this information? Because is nowhere in our contract and only sets people up for anger and disappointment when they don’t “get” what they requested.
You can drop reserve on a relief line, but only 1 block (if green) and outside in OR trade it for a trip in DOT.
In general a relief line, today, offers more flexibility than a reserve line.
