I understand that consolidation may require a trip to be frozen and certainly a desirable trip should be frozen, or maybe you're trying to break guarantee or need a landing. But if you live local and would rather stay home, you don't have to freeze the trip! Maybe someone will pick it up from you. My last stint on reserve I didn't freeze a desirable trip (forgot to) and by the time I determined I wanted to fly the trip, it was gone. Just putting this out there...
