If their aircraft doesn't make it into the base and there is nothing for them to fly they can get displaced before they start the trip. Scheduling will use a displaced pilot before they use a reserve. If you think about it, it does make sense to use the displaced pilot. They are getting paid to fly and if they use a reserve it could increase the chance of a reserve breaking guarantee and then the company would be losing money.
Didn't say I liked it but thats the way it works. Being a lineholder is great and getting the DS and being paid for your trip is great but sometimes it can bite you in the butt especially if you are displaced at your base.
