I do not think they can stop us from doing that. There is nothing in the contract that prohinits that. The union would have something to say about that.....I hope. You should be able to get a trip taken away from a reserve if it is awarded to them early. Last month a trip was given to a reserve as soon as it appeared in open time. I called them about it and they put it back in open time, and then someone senior to me got it...oh well.
