Choose a base where you can hold a line as soon as possible even if it requires a commute. Reserve f’ing sucks!
As a reserve they can do anything they want with you, including taking stuff off your schedule that they've assigned you, or modifying it, extending the trip, etc.. Perhaps someone calls in sick, and then feels better and wants back on the rest of the trip..
Are you saying you tried to pick something up on a day off and they denied it? Or tried to pick something up on a reserve day?
